Paul Weller has reportedly paid his old nemesis Sting the ultimate insult – by spitting on a portrait of The Police frontman.

The alleged incident took place took at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday night (March 28), just as the Modfather was taking his seat at Russell Brand’s Teenage Cancer Trust show.

The 48-year-old saw the offending photograph mounted at the venue and marched up to it, coughed up a nice greenie and spat it out straight at Sting. The Daily Mirror claims he then walked away uttering “fucking tit.”

It’s not the first time Weller has vented his spleen against Sting. In a magazine interview recently, the former Jam frontman blasted: “He’s (Sting) a fucking horrible man.

“Not my cup of tea at all. Fucking rubbish. No edge, no attitude, no nothing.”
