THE legendary Johnny Marr makes a welcome return to the rock aristocracy with his new band The Healers this weekend.
Supporting Oasis at Bolton's Reebok stadium, Marr has been cited by Noel Gallagher as one of his major influences.
Marr spent his formative years with The Smiths before working with The The and forming Electronic with New Order's Bernard Sumner.
Joined by Ringo Star's son Zak Starkey on drums, former Kula Shaker bassist Alonza Bevan and guitarist Adam Gray, once of the Ya-Yas, the band is given something of an all-star feel.
Completing the line-up are Liz Bonney on percussion and Lee Spencer on keyboards, with Marr providing vocals and guitars.
