News about Johnny Marr

Fans of Morrissey are now learning why the legendary crooner abruptly canceled a string of performances, two in Southern California. The Smiths frontman had been supposed to appear at the Honda Center in Anaheim on Friday, January 26, and the Kia Forum the next night in honor of his heralded album You Are The Quarry's 20th anniversary, but the Smiths frontman's arrival was postponed due to 'unforeseen circumstances.' 'Morrissey's tour guide Donnie Knutson wrote on his Instagram page, 'Morrissey is getting medical attention for physical exhaustion.'

The English band's 1984 album is just under two minutes long and has no lyrics, but it does have the title line and begins with the phrase, 'Good times for a change.' The song was used during a demonstration in Lacondia on January 22, according to the reporters, who took to social media. On X Wednesday, Johnny Marr (pictured right), the band's guitar player, responded immediately: "I never in a million years would have guessed that this would come to pass." This s**t shuts right down right now,' consider it.'

Since her death aged 52 was announced on Saturday night, tributes have poured in for Mani's beloved wife, Imelda Mounfield. Imelda died on the weekend, three years after being diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer. It's the second tragedy to rock the band in recent weeks after bassist Pete Garner's death.

Mani's wife, a Stone Roses bassist, died at the age of 52, three years after she was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer. On Saturday, Imelda Mounfield passed away. On Mondays, Rowetta announced Imelda's death on X, the first time on Twitter.

In the last four years, Chrissie Hynde (pictured with Johnny Marr) has invested her time into a handful of unexpected artistic ventures. The American singer, who was once described by Neil Young as "a true rock 'n' roll woman," has released one album of jazz standards and another packed with Bob Dylan covers. She returned to her day job fronting The Pretenders, a London-based company she formed 45 years ago, but the band's 2020 album, Hate For Sale, was postponed due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, this year, she has been hard at work proving her rock 'n' roll credentials. The Pretenders have appeared intimate club shows and summer festivals, including drummer Dave Grohl and guitarist Johnny Marr, as guests, as well as enticed a viewing Paul McCartney onstage for a brief curtain call.

After giving him a £1000 cash grant, legendary Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr invited a lucky schoolboy busker to perform with him backstage at a gig in Yorkshire on Saturday. After reporting one of the band's hits on the streets of Manchester this year, the schoolboy busker caught Johnny's attention earlier this year. John Denton's appearances put them off, while videos of his finger-picking skills went viral on social media.

Morrissey (top) of the Smiths paid homage to 'terrific and unexpected' bassist Andy Rourke', who died at the age of 59 after a lengthy bout with pancreatic cancer. Rourke's distinction was so beautiful and unexpected, and he showed it could be achieved in a touching interview.' He was also very funny and happy... We hope that we were cherished at the end of it all. Andy does not need to worry about that.' Johnny Marr, Rourke's former bandmate, broke the sad news on Twitter this morning, describing Rourke as a "supremely gifted performer." As the Smiths became one of Britain's most influential bands during the 1980s, alongside drummer Mike Joyce, Rourke provided a pounding and melodic rhythm section under Marr's pioneering chords.

Few bands have blazed so well for so short a time, with just five years of ferocious performances establishing their place as one of England's best-known indie music legends. The most apparent reason for their break-up was a row about royalties, but other factors had been cited that have sparked much debate to this day. In June 1987, the first rumblings occurred when guitarist Johnny Marr decided to take a break after stating himself drained by the workload. The band is seen from left to right: Marr, Morrissey, Joyce, and Rourke are among the artists on display. Morrissey is also seen correctly.

We take a look at some of early warning signs of pancreatic cancer that are so subtle that it is often only detected in later, deadlier stages. Rourke's former bandmate Johnny Marr revealed the tragic news on Twitter this morning, describing Rourke, aged 59, as a "supremely gifted guitarist." As the Smiths became one of Britain's most influential bands during the 1980s, they joined drummer Mike Joyce in a pounding and melodic rhythm section under Marr's pioneering chords. Pancreatic cancer deaths reached just shy of 10,000 British people a year, with only 5 percent of people who get the disease surviving in the next decade. Although survival rates for the majority of cancers have increased over the years as a result of medical advancement, pancreatic cancer has not changed at all since the 1970s. This is in part due to how easy it is to miss early signs of the disease, meaning that it is only visible at later, more dangerous stages. Here MailOnline reveals some of the early warning signs of pancreatic cancer:

Rourke's ex bandmate Johnny Marr (inset) announced the sad news on Twitter this morning, describing him as a "supremely gifted musician." "It's with great sadness that we learn Andy Rourke died after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.' Many who knew him and as a supremely gifted musician by music enthusiasts will remember Andy as a kind and beautiful soul. At this sad time, we are request anonymity.' The band members are pictured from left to right: Marr, Morrissey, Rourke, and Joyce.

Royel Otis does not sing about love, and the band will tell you that this is deliberate. Royell Maddell, one-half of the Aussie indie duo that includes bandmate Otis Pavolvic, says, "We set out not to write as many romantic songs." "We still have them, but we've just tried to mess it up a bit." Since the band's debut EP, Campus, a brightly hued tribute to throwing all your cares away that sounds like the closing scene of your favorite John Hughes film, "Oysters in My Pocket" has resulted in breakthrough hits such as "Oysters in My Pocket." The boys yells, "That's miles away," they yell, a chant that may refer to virtually every challenge, romantic or otherwise. It's the best gateway to the band's total sound: '80s-fueled guitar-driven songs that swerve into yacht rock, jangle pop, or beach music at a moment's notice. But wait, and even in the excitement, the longing for companionship is still present. “Itie (output: The yell of “I still miss ya!” indicates a Freudian slip. Royel admits that "this song isn't romantic at all." "The lyric was kind of a joke," the narrator of 2022's "Egg Beater" tells the tale of a known fuckup convinced of both his passion and the belief that doesn't deserve it: "I hate the air you breathe but I still want you, sugar lumps."

Morrissey has accused Capitol Records of deliberately'sabotaging' his latest album, Bonfire of Teenagers. The singer, 63, 'voluntarily' left the brand, as well as his management company, in December 2022, a year after settling a contract with them. Morrissey has come out, saying that the corporation has refused to release or return his 14th solo LP Bonfire of Teenagers.

On social media, John Denton's online presence as home of his finger-picking skills earned him the opportunity to receive a £1,000 grant that was not intended for Marr's name. The announcement came after a 12-year-old man waited for three hours in the freezing cold at the back of Piccadilly's Piccadilly records in Manchester for an event signing hosted by Marrs. The lead guitarist knew the boy from Salford was a guitarist straight away, and gave him some sarcastic advice on finding a new bass guitarist for his new band.

Since the charming young man covered one of the bands' songs, a schoolboy busker has been caught the attention of Johnny Marr, The Smith's legendary guitarist. The performances of John Denton in Manchester held customers' attention, while videos of his finger-picking skills went viral on social media. The 12-year-old's talents have now been acknowledged by guitarist and songwriter Marr, who was instrumental in selecting him for a £1,000 grant that was ostensibly named in his name. John, who started playing guitar at the age of eight, has performed on The Queen is Dead's album, which was used as a backdrop for The Smith 1986 opus.

This is the third time I've seen one of my Facebook 'best of' music lists published outside of Facebook's social media page, which is exciting for me. My run is a little late this year, but I don't want to disappoint my readers here at the Daily Mail. One of the bands reached out to me after a slew of reader comments from last year's list, which was...cool. I've decided to imbue this piece with a 2023 feel and give you all a look ahead in the world of music this year.
