Johnny Marr Net Worth

By 1982, The Freak Party had fizzled out and he was introduced to Morrissey – the two went on to form The Smiths. The band created an album called, “The Queen Is Dead,” which was rated as number one on Spin Magazine’s 1989 list of “The Greatest Albums Ever Made.” Spin was not alone in this designation, but sadly the band began to fall apart because of differences in musical style amongst the band members and the heroin use of fellow band member, Andy Rourke. After leaving The Smiths, Marr worked with Paul McCartney, and bands like The Pretenders, The The, and Electronic. He also worked on several soundtracks and is well known for his session work. Johnny Marr has a wife named, Angie and two children. For more than five years the family resided in Portland, Oregon but returned to England for Marr to record his solo album that was released in 2013. He is an honorary board member of Rock for Kids and received an honorary doctorate from the University of Salford for “outstanding achievements” and “changing the face of British guitar music.” He is teetotal, vegan and runs regularly.
