Johnny Marr plays Smiths classics with Andy Rourke at MSG

Johnny Marr was joined on stage by Smiths bandmate Andy Rourke at his Madison Square Garden gig last night (September 30) – check out footage below.

The gig came as part of Marr’s tour in support of The Killers, which began back in August. At the first two shows of the tour, he joined them for a number of songs in the encore.

In Seattle, he came on stage for performances of Smiths songs ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’ and ‘What She Said’, before helping The Killers end the set with ‘Mr. Brightside’, which he also performed with them during their Glastonbury 2019 headline set.

At Friday night’s gig in New York City, Marr welcomed Smiths bassist Andy Rourke to the stage for the final two songs of his short set, playing ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’ and ‘How Soon Is Now?’. He then also joined The Killers for ‘This Charming Man’ and ‘Mr Brightside’ later in the evening.

Primal Scream were also joined by Marr for the encore at their huge London gig in the same month.
