For a man with such a long, varied career there can’t be many ambitions left for Paul Weller to fulfill.
There is something though – to write a James Bond theme tune. And a song he’s been working on with Noel Gallagher is apparently a perfect fit. “I want to write a James Bond theme tune,” he told the BBC.
“I’ve got this half a song that me and Noel Gallagher worked on and I think it would be great for a Bond theme. There’s a bit of minor key going on. That would be an ambition definitely.”
Weller releases his latest solo album A Kind Revolution tomorrow and has a big UK tour coming up next year which is due to take in various arena venues in February and March.
