The Smiths and Morrissey: Craig Gannon 04 (of 09)

Craig Gannon was asked to join The Smiths in early 1986 after the band had fired bassist Andy Rourke. Having already made his name as a member of Aztec Camera, he soon became the band's second guitarist after Rourke was re-instated and recorded many notable singles with them.
In this interview Gannon discusses joining the band, working on the 'Panic' and 'Ask' singles, going on tour in both the UK and the US with The Smiths and the reasons for his departure from the band. He also discusses his later work with Morrissey after the Smiths had split, including the singles 'The Last of the Famous International Playboys' and 'Interesting Drug'.
