The Jam’s Bruce Foxton pulls out of touring following “immediate” hospital procedure
The Jam’s Bruce Foxton has announced that he is taking time out of touring.The 68-year-old bassist was a part of The Jam up until their sudden split in 1982, when frontman Paul Weller departed from the line-up.Since then, Foxton has been a part of the band Stiff Little Fingers, and also went on to join the tribute band for his original project, titled From The Jam, which has been playing tracks from the iconic British group for more than a decade.Now, he has shared an update with fans, explaining that a recent visit to the hospital has meant he had made the decision to temporarily pull out of live performances.“To all my lifelong wonderful fans, as a lot of you know my health has not been good for the past few years and the latest news is that I have had to go into hospital for an immediate procedure,” he began.“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.”Foxton continued: “That time has now come so I wish the band (my dear friends) continued success until I return and with God’s will I will see you all in the not too distant future on the ‘Setting Sons’ 45th-anniversary tour.”While further details have not been shared at time of writing, the band have clarified that he was not “rushed to hospital” – following some news reports – and told fans that the news isn’t “sad” as the musician is putting his wellbeing first.“Despite what @DailyMirror have posted, please see the full and official statement from #BruceFoxton.
