CAREER Gannon had already achieved some fame for his work with Aztec Camera and with The Bluebells before his work with The Smiths. When Bass Player Andy Rourke was fired from The Smiths in early 1986, Gannon was hired to replace him. Within a Fortnight , however, Rourke was reinstated and Gannon moved to Rhythm Guitar , playing on the "Panic" and "Ask" Singles and touring the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States with the band. Gannon also played on the scrapped single "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby", which was included on "'' The World Won't Listen ''" compilation album. After the tour ended in October 1986, Gannon was dismissed. Post-Smiths, Gannon joined Brix Smith in The Adult Net , Blue Orchids and The Cradle . Gannon was also reunited with former Smiths singer Morrissey at his debut solo gig and 1989 singles "The Last of the Famous International Playboys" and "Interesting Drug". That same year saw him sue Morrissey and Johnny Marr over the degree of his involvement in songwriting (notably for "Ask"). The matter was settled out of court for the sum of £48,000.
