[Jason Tate]

Ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has been recruited by former bass foil Andy Rourke for tbe "Manchester Vs Cancer (http://www.manchestervcancer.co.uk/)" which will take place at the Manchester Evening News Arena on January 28. The event is being hailed by the organizers and the hospital as the biggest-ever charity fundraising concert staged in Manchester.

A Marr, Rourke, Moz reuinion is the only hope we have of a Smiths reunion. Add Joyce in, and Moz would never do it. Even still, it won't happen this time.

Coolness.

This is really cool, Andy Rourke is my bass guitar hero and Rourke/Marr are one of the best guitarist and bassist double acts in the history of music.

I hope they play together.
