The bitterest pill

THE Jam's Bruce Foxton has stepped away from music because of health issues.

The bassist, 68, opened up to his fans that he had to go into hospital as he takes a break from his tribute band, From The Jam.

He said: "As a lot of you know, my health has not been good for the past few years and I have had to go into hospital for an immediate procedure.

"It is with much regret and sadness that I will not be able to perform again with From The Jam until I have made a full recovery.

"The band has done everything to help me for the past couple of years and have even suggested several times that I take time off to look after my health and recuperate. That time has come, so I wish the band, my dear friends, continued success until I return and with God's will I'll see you all in the not too distant future on the Setting Sons 45th anniversary tour [later this year]."
