Generation X was born, by broadest definition, between 1961 and 1981, the greatest anti-child cycle in modern history. Nevertheless, we grew up to become the world's most devoted parents: the "workhorse of America."

Did Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke still work with Morrissey after the breakup?

I’m only asking because in the music video for “the last of the famous international playboys” I see Andy Rourke and mike Joyce but I’m not sure if it’s them?? I know I can Google it but I wanted to see what people on here know. Also if they did why did they continue to work with him?
