David Bowie Has Last Laugh As Feud With Paul Weller Ends

He asks for his hair back...

David Bowie and Paul Weller have reportedly ended their long running feud – which began when Weller called Bowie’s music “pish”.

Speaking to Mojo, Weller said that he had become “a born-again Bowie freak” while making his new album ’22 Dreams’.

"Every night we’d drive home to London after recording and have Ziggy Stardust on five or six times,” he said.

“’Low’s’ one of my favourite records anyway. Whatever gripes I’ve had about Bowie in the past, ‘Low’s’ been a constant since I bought it in 1977.”

On hearing Weller’s comments, Bowie apparently sent the former Jam frontman an email thanking him for his words.

But he couldn’t resist a final pop at Weller, signing off his email with the words; “Nice one, Paul, Can I have my haircut back now?”

An unnamed source in the Sun newspaper, said: "He sent a pic of himself from the 1960s on a record sleeve. Paul might be better known for the cut but Bowie wanted to point out he was there first.”

Are you happy that the two have resolved their issues? Let us know by posting a comment below...

  • Yeah, me too! It was really a BIG relief! Although I’m worried that Gigwise might stop reporting about these important things and then I’ll become insomniac again. So, dear Gigwisers, please keep us in the loop. We need to know about these stuff. And more about hair extensions, please. My cat is really fond of them. I don’t want him to develop some diarohea problems. Kind regards, Lux & Felix

  • Bowie has grown into the sweetest guy and wouldn’t harm a soul. In his interactions with people, he’s more of an equalizer. He’s got a keen sense of humor, which comes through in his music. He’s come through a lot of shit in his life. He knows how the wheel comes back around.

    • @Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
