There was never a chance.

Andy Rourkes bass playing defined many of The smiths records for me . Rip Andy Rourke you truly will be missed💔

As good a bassist as McCartney himself, I love what he brought to the smiths.

Rourke was incredible. Both comments above are missing the point of McCartney's bass playing though.

Andy. Thank you for bringing to my attention how magical a Bass can be. You Saved My Life. Rest in Peace.

I was listening to the Boy With the Thorn in his Side a few a weeks ago and Andy's bass was what I really couldn't get enough of and put me in a great mood. As a teenager I was mostly enamoured with Johnny Marr's guitar sound and still am, but have loved Andy's contribution more and more, the songs are worth so much more thanks to him. He really was a sublime musician. RIP

Glad to see clips of live performances of "Barbarism Begins At Home" there - I keep going back to them, Andy's performance on them was incredible.

Andy was and is and always will be my favorite from the smith's, rest in peace and thank you for all the amazing 🎸 sounds.

😢 so many memories in my young days. Still love the Smiths those albums and songs are forever dear to me

Rest in Peace Andy, I still haven't heard a band with such unique yet tight and driving bass lines.

The light of Heaven to Andy. A musical legend. He made that guitar talk.

I'll never get over this 😪 it's been almost a year and I feel like he's still there

very very underrated bassist...

Obrigado, Andy.

R.I.P Andy! And thank you for the music that you were part of making 🙏🕊

Very amazing and memorable bass lines, The Smiths were one of the best bands ever, in my opinion...RIP Andy!

He was unusually, noticeably good. A cut above. Pancreatic cancer is really bad. Hope he's in a lovely place.

Everyone point to This Charming Man or Barbarism BAH when they want to remark how good he was. But those bass lines are just such a "cool riffs" not cooler than other lines from Gallup (Cure) or Hook (N.Order). I´ve been bass player for more than 30 years, and I strongly recomend anyone who would want understand what a bassist should do to enhance the quality of any song, to pay attention to some other gems as Well I Wonder, Oscilate Wildly or Headmaster Ritual (many others, of course). Thats why Mr Andy Rourke was a second to non true bass player. Cheers mate.

So nice to meet you and share so shining and blissfulness moments with you @ Perú!!! The privilege and pride is mine! Yes!🎸

My fave bassist of all time.

One of the best, RIP!

What a tragic loss to the music industry. One of my biggest influences as a bass player.

That 'The Tube' performance of Barbarism at 03:48 is one of my favorites of Andy's. Totally chunky and juicy bass playing.

such sad news

Very sad news. This man fueled the rhythm of my youth. You will be greatly missed. 😢

🖤

Rip Andy I grew up with your songs Man . Sorry to see you gone too soon.cheers

God bless you, Andy, you changed our lives, Sir

Can't believe it seems so young. That cancer has taken young people Ive known it awful. Andy's bass riffs were fantastic so funky at times. Pity they never got back together for a one off gig. Morrissey I believe deep down still cared for Andy even after their fallout hence such kinds words

But in our hearts, you are so real. R.I.P. Andy you need not to worry about that.

Maraming salamat Sir Andy para sa musika. We love The Smiths here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 RIP..

only 59 sad

Andy and Derek Forbes are THE two best ever for me. Very sad he was taken so young.

RIP Andy :( Great bass player great band

Vale Andy 😢💔 You are LEGEND, you will be very missed by the World 🎸🎶🎤

What a talent.

What a shame!!! Their rhythm section was so tight. RIP, Andy. This is the first I've seen/heard of it. The US media has said nothing. WTF? He helped make my adolescence.

What a bass player

Ah, man! This is the first I've heard of this and I am gutted 😢

😭😭

He was one of the very few fretted bass players I liked.

He's still here Bass Drum Guitar Voice.

aw dang!!

The older i get the more i realise that without Morrissey they would have been recognised as possibly the greatest British band in history. With Morrissey they were the recognised as the top 5 British band in history..

Reast high King 👑

Andy was a much better character than Morrissey or Marr. Best bass player in my books. Thanks Andy.

Very sad news 😢

With all due respect.

Nooooooooo!

"after the band was photographed there for the Queen's Dead album." Funny, I've never seen that album listed in Queen's discography. . . Unless he meant Hot Space..? Or perhaps the BBC needs to hire someone who actually knows how to annunciate? Yes, that'll be it.

Hypocrite Morrissey, to say that he was valued but not enough to give him the 6 or 7 figures that he owed him??

Probably my favorite bass player ever. His bass lines were so melodic and musical. Brilliant artist.

Never a chance of a reunion, as long as Morrisy was in the band. He despises all of them
