Hello Everyone! I have returned with more pictures of my favorite bassist.
Andy Rourke (The Smiths)
it didn’t feel right not to pop back in and say something.
Andy,
Your strength amazes me. That you were this ill and never let it show, that you were playing and creating up until the last. You are a wonder. I won’t use past tense because you still are. And you always were that incredible.
I’ll always believe you never got the credit you were due. But you improved everything you touched - and you touched so much. I had never heard someone play bass like that before, and suddenly, I realized I had fallen totally in love with it. A love that has never faded and has carried me through so much. That’s your power. And I hope you knew that.
At a time when the words would be best, I can’t find many more of them. The shock is still too fresh, the tears still flowing. But just know Andy how loved you are, by so many and most certainly by this girl whose life you touched so greatly.
Love you forever, Andy.
Rest In Peace Andy Rourke 1964 - 2023

RIP Andy Rourke, you lovely lovely guy. I’ll never forget your smile, your dedication, the wonderful person you were, the way you were the glue that held a tumultuous band together. Your bass riff on Barbarism will always be one of the best bass lines in indie music. Unmatched. ❤️💔
How anyone could think of paying Andy less than gold for the Barbarism riff alone is unthinkable
