In August 1987, he very briefly became a member of The Pretenders, before going on to release two albums with The The between 1988-1994.
Marr also formed supergroup Electronic with New Order's Bernard Sumner, with the duo releasing the majority of their output between 1989-1998.
As well as joining groups including Modest Mouse and The Cribs, Marr has also gained notoriety as a session musician, working with the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Talking Heads, Hans Zimmer and Kirsty MacColl.
