Bummer. I didn't know he played with morrissey solo. I'm gonna have to check out freebass:

"During a decades-long music career, he went on to play with The Smiths front man Morrissey on his solo projects after the group disbanded, as well as performing with artists including Sinéad O'Connor, The Pretenders, Badly Drawn Boy and guitarist Aziz Ibrahim.

In 2005, Rourke formed the supergroup Freebass, along with fellow bassists Peter Hook, formerly of New Order and Joy Division, and Gary "Mani" Mounfield of the Stone Roses and Primal Scream."
