Bruce Foxton, former bassist of The Jam, has hinted that he may share the stage again with ex-bandmate Paul Weller, more than three decades after the band's acrimonious split. Foxton, now 58, is currently touring the UK with his band From The Jam.
Foxton and Weller did not speak for many years following the break-up, but have since reconciled. Foxton contributed to Weller's album 'Wake Up the Nation' and they performed together at the Royal Albert Hall two years ago.
While a full reunion tour is unlikely, Foxton expressed hope for future collaborations. 'The very best fans could hope for is maybe play on each other's albums in the future or do a show together,' he said. 'Five years ago I never thought I would appear on stage at the Royal Albert Hall again, but something like that might come up again.'
Foxton is performing at the Clapham Grand on November 1 as part of the All Mod Cons Tour, marking the 35th anniversary of The Jam's album. He noted that the shows are attracting younger fans and getting 'better and better'.
Despite being 58, Foxton has no plans to retire from touring. 'I'm not really ancient but I'm not a spring chicken. As long as I can and I want to do it, there's lots of gigs being booked in next year,' he said.
