THE CLASH - SIMONON SEES NO POINT IN REFORMING

SIMONON SEES NO POINT IN REFORMING

Former THE CLASH guitarist PAUL SIMONON will never reform the punk legends, and attacks old bands who get back together. The bassist, now performing with DAMON ALBARN's group THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE QUEEN, admits he has turned down numerous lucrative offers for The Clash to reform. Paying tribute to late Clash frontman JOE STRUMMER, Simonon says, "Joe was a gentleman, an extremely open person. I miss him. "But we'd never get back together again. I have never seen any point in going backwards." Strummer died in 2002 from an undiagnosed heart defect. He was 50 years old.
