Excerpt:
Andy Rourke says the world needs "colourful characters" like his old bandmate Morrissey.
The 55-year-old bassist co-founded The Smiths with frontman Morrissey in Manchester in 1982, and he has admitted the music industry would be "boring" without "controversial" people like the 'Everyday Is Like Sunday' singer – who is known for his forthright opinions on topics including politics and animal rights.
Andy also described Morrissey as a "unique individual and a real talent".
