Very sad news.

Pancreatic cancer is such an awful cruel disease.

By complete chance, I was at The Smiths first ever gig at the Ritz - I had tagged along with a few mates (they were all jazzfunkers) to see Blue Rondo a la Turk, The Smiths were the support. There was only about 15 people in the crowd when The Smiths played so I count myself as being very lucky to have witnessed that.

Thanks for the music and the memories

R.I.P Andy Rourke

I've not met anyone who was there at the Ritz so nice one!
Was that your only Smiths gig?
Crazy thing is that is the only Smiths gig Andy wasn't on bass as Dale Hibbert played in the band then.
Andy joined a few weeks later and played from the 2nd gig onwards
