Andy Rourke’s wife: Is Andy Rourke married? – Andy Rourke, The Smiths’ bassist who died in May 2023, was most likely not married. On the internet, there is no mention of his wife.
Johnny Marr, a fellow band member, announced Rourke’s death on Friday, May 19, revealing that the latter died after a protracted fight with pancreatic cancer.
Marr wrote on social media:
Rourke, who was born on January 17, 1964, played on the Smiths’ classic back catalog, which included hits such as This Charming Man and There Is a Light That Never Goes Out – both classic examples of his often boldly melodic style – as well as solo songs for frontman Morrissey after the group disbanded.
Rourke also played in the supergroup Freebass with two other prominent Manchester bass guitarists, New Order’s Peter Hook and Mani from the Stone Roses, and recorded with Sinead O’Connor, the Pretenders, Ian Brown, and Cranberries vocalist Dolores O’Riordan in the ensemble DARK.
