Andy Rourke, the bassist for the Smiths, has died aged 59.
The track was released Blitz Vega, a group featuring Rourke and former Happy Mondays guitarist Kav Blaggers, and co-produced with DJ Z-Trip. “I wanted exactly what Johnny does,” Rourke toldof why he asked Marr to play on the song. “He has a very distinctive sound, and that’s what he did. We love what he brought to the track.”
Rourke added of Marr, “We’ve remained friends, we’ve known each other since we were 13 years old. He’s my oldest and dearest friend and I feel our friendship gets stronger as time passes.” Marr shared a longer tribute on Instagram, recalling when the pair met in 1975. “We were best friends, going everywhere together,” Marr wrote. “When we were fifteen I moved into his house with him and his three brothers and I soon came to realise that my mate was one of those rare people that absolutely no one doesn’t like.”
He added, “Andy will always be remembered, as a kind and beautiful soul by everyone who knew him, and as a supremely gifted musician by people who love music.”
