Paul Weller has said that The Jam will never reform - unless he falls on very very hard times - and probably not even then.
Questioned by 6Music on the chances of there ever being a Jam reunion, Weller said: "Let me just nip that in the bud right now. That will never, ever happen. Me and my children would have to be destitute and starving in the gutter before I'd even consider that, and I don't think that'll happen anyway - I'd go and get a job working on a van or the builders."
Asked why that was so, he continued: "I'm against all bands reforming, I think it's really sad. I think you do these things and you create these statements and music at a certain time and they stand for how you feel at that time and that's where they end. I think it's a great thing that the Jam's music has endured over the years and people still love it and still play it. It still means something to people and a lot of that's because we stopped at the right time, it didn't go on and become embarrassing."
