Johnny Marr

Johnny Marr (born John Martin Maher, 31 October 1963 in Wythenshawe, Manchester) is a British guitarist, keyboardist, harmonica player and singer, best known as the man behind the music of The Smiths.

The Healers

The Healers first appeared in 2000 when Marr started looking for musicians. He found the son of Beatle Ringo Starr: Zak Starkey, and Kula Shaker bassist Alonza Bevan. The band took two years to complete, because Marr wanted members to be chosen "by chemistry." The debut of the new band was released in 2003, where Marr sang and wrote the lyrics as well. The second LP was supposed to be out in 2004, but Starkey was involved with his side projects like Oasis and The Who and Bevan with his own band. Apparently their second LP was due out in April 2005 and a short tour was expected soon after that, but as Starkey currently is involved with Oasis, it is unknown when their next LP will come.
