From this week’s NME, classified section, listed under ANNOUNCEMENTS:

The Trustee in Bankruptcy of Andrew Michael Rouke (formerly of “The Smiths”) wishes to sell Mr Rourke’s royalty stream. Any interested party should contact Joey Byrne, Turner Parkinson Solicitors… Manchester.

Wow. Rourke (and drummer Mike Joyce) might have won that 1998 court case when the judge memorably branded Morrissey “devious, truculent and unreliable”, but I guess it wasn’t enough to keep the wolf from the door.
