Timeline

1963

Michael Adrian Paul Joyce (born 1 June 1963) is an English drummer.

1982

He is best known for being the drummer for the Smiths from October 1982 to 1987.

While the Smiths provided Joyce with his first taste of success, he had previously drummed for Manchester band The Hoax and Northern Irish punk rock group Victim.

1987

Immediately after the break-up of the band in 1987, Joyce and Smiths bassist Andy Rourke played with Sinéad O'Connor.

They, along with Craig Gannon, also provided the rhythm section for two singles by Smiths' singer Morrissey – "Interesting Drug" and "The Last of the Famous International Playboys" and their B-sides.

1989

According to Morrissey, who unsuccessfully appealed Joyce's claims, Joyce first sued Morrissey and Marr in 1989 for 25% of the Smiths' recording royalties.

1990

Work with Suede, Buzzcocks, Public Image Limited, Julian Cope, P. P. Arnold and Pete Wylie followed throughout the 1990s.

Joyce, Rourke, and Gannon reunited to work on a project with fellow Manchester musician Aziz Ibrahim (formerly of the Stone Roses and Simply Red), ex-Oasis guitarist Bonehead (as Moondog One), and Vinny Peculiar.

1994

Joyce married Christina Riley in 1994.

He is a vegetarian.

Joyce is a Manchester City fan, and is sometimes interviewed at City Square before important home matches.

1996

In 1996, Joyce sued former Smiths' colleagues Johnny Marr and Morrissey for an equal share of performance and recording royalties.

Joyce won the case and was awarded damages of around £1 million from Morrissey and Marr.

In 1996, Joyce won the case "on the basis of the 1890 Partnership Act".

2007

In July 2007, Joyce, along with former bandmate Andy Rourke, released Inside The Smiths, a DVD which chronicled their experiences of being in the band.

In October 2007, Joyce toured the UK playing drums for Vinny Peculiar with Bonehead (Oasis) on bass guitar, and in 2008 ran a successful night at The Brickhouse in Manchester called "Alternative Therapy".

In parallel to his music career, Joyce works as a DJ and broadcaster, including occasional appearances on BBC 6 Music.

Joyce has hosted shows on East Village Radio, an internet station.

2017

Since October 2017, Joyce has hosted a weekly radio show on Manchester radio station XS Manchester.

2018

In October 2018, the show was nominated in the 'Best Specialist Music Show' category at the ARIAS 2018 radio awards.

Joyce is a patron of the Manchester-based charity Back on Track; as part of this role, Joyce ran a special cooking session with some of the charity's clients, during which they cooked vegetables from his allotment, and featured as a story on ITV Granada.

Joyce was born in Manchester to Irish Catholic parents, and attended St Gregory's Grammar School in the city.
