Andy Rourke
Sadly, Andrew Rourke the bassist from The Smiths passed away on May 19, 2023. He is famous for his melodic bass style that was the hallmark of The Smiths' sound. 'Heaven knows I'm Miserable Now' seems to be a fitting song to salute his legacy.
Based on the huge number of accolades that have poured in, he evidently was a nice guy and liked by many in the industry.
In addition to being a member of the Smiths, Rourke also recorded with the Pretenders and Sinead O'Conner.
He was also a member of the supergroup Freebass.
In addition to his musical talents, Rourke was also the founding organiser of the Versus Cancer concerts in the late 2000's, which raised a truckload of money for cancer research and the Christie Hospital in Manchester.
