Short story:

Joe Moss, best-known as the manager of The Smiths, dies aged 72, of cancer, in Manchester, England, UK, Europe.

Full article:

Johnny Marr (the Smiths) : Joe was a one off, an amazing person and totally unique. He started looking after me when I was 17; it was Joe who put the idea in my head to go and knock on Morrissey’s door. He invested his time and money in us when no one else wanted to know, and his belief in us kept us going. Without him there wouldn’t have been any Smiths. He was an original beatnik and a true bohemian, respected by all. Everyone who met him loved him; he can never be replaced.
