Joyce is leeching off Morrissey and constantly trying to wrangle more money from him, money which is not rightfully his.

Rourke is touring with Badly Drawn Boy, at least he's making an effort to stay involved with music.

And Gannon...good question. Where is Gannon?
 
Re: Joyce, Rourke and Gannon?

Joyce is well known party maniac who has literally been spotted in high profile establishments from Edinburgh to Chelsea. The Daily Mirror ran a small photo of him about 15 months ago being arrested outside Highbury Park in London with vomit on his jacket. The caption read "Rock & Roll Has-Been".

Rourke is another notorious drunk and apparently his band Badly Drawn Boy has booked, cancelled and then re-booked entire tours to accommodate his on-again off-again drinking binges. Rumor has it Rourke squandered most of his money during the 1980's, and that a series of catastrophic investments left him without the bulk of his earnings.

Gannon is apparently the only success story. His early investment in Vodafone stock paid massive dividends in the mid 1990's, and he apparently has invested in a wide variety of ventures - including Irish Wolf Hound breeding and Soy farms. He’s retired from music and married.
