Mural tribute to this charming man

THE Smiths star Mike Joyce has pledged his support for a mural of the late Andy Rourke at a pub in the Northern Quarter.

Regarded as one of the greatest bass players of his generation, Rourke, who grew up in Ashton-onMersey, died aged 59 last May following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Known for his role in The Smiths from 1982 until their split five years later, Andy also recorded with the likes of Sinead O'Connor, Ian Brown and The Pretenders throughout his career.

Now, more than a year after his passing, The Smiths drummer Mike has joined forces with the Pancreatic Cancer Action charity for a fundraiser that aims to create a mural and lasting tribute to Andy in his home city.
