Paul Weller Tickets - Paul Weller Tickets Are Available

Paul Weller is an English singer-songwriter. Paul Weller starts with the Mod/punk-rock band The Jam. Paul Weller then went on to branch out musically to a more soulful style with The Style Council

Weller was born on 25 May 1958 in Sheerwater, near Woking, Surrey, England, to John and Ann Weller. He was initially known as John William Weller but later acquired the name Paul

Although The Jam emerged at the same time as punk rock bands such as the Sex Pistols and The Clash, The Jam better fit the mould of the so-called 'new wave' bands who came later. Also, being from just outside of London rather than in it, they were never really part of the tightly-knit punk clique. At the beginning of 1983, Weller collaborated with keyboard player Mick Talbot to form a new group called The Style Council. Weller brought in Steve White to play drums, as well as singer Dee C. Lee, who had previously been a backing singer with Wham!

Paul Weller appeared on 1984's Band Aid record "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and was called upon to mime the absent Bono's lyrics on Top of the Pops. The Style Council were the second act to appear in the British half of Live Aid at Wembley Stadium in 1985.

In 1989, Paul Weller found himself for the first time since he was 17 without a band and without a recording deal. After taking time off throughout 1990 to reconsider his musical direction, he returned to the road in 1991, touring as 'The Paul Weller Movement' with long-term drummer and friend Steve White. After a slow start playing small clubs with a mixture of Jam/Style Council classics as well as showcasing new material such as "Into Tomorrow", by the time of the release of his 1992 LP, Paul Weller he had begun to re-establish himself as a leading British singer/songwriter. This self-titled album saw a return to a more jazz-guitar-focused sound, featuring samples and a funk influence with shades of The Style Council sound. The album also featured a new producer, Brendan Lynch. Tracks such as "Here's a New Thing" and "That Spiritual Feeling" were marketed among the emerging Acid Jazz scene.

Heavy Soul, the follow up to the million-selling Stanley Road saw Weller twist his sound again. The album was more raw than its predecessor; Paul Weller was now frequently playing live in the studio in as few takes as possible. The first single, "Peacock Suit" reached #5 in the UK Singles Chart, and the album reached #2. Success in the charts also came from compilations: "best of" albums by The Jam and Style Council charted, and his own solo "best of" collection Modern Classics was a substantial success in 1998.

Soon after the formation of The Style Council, Weller and Dee C. Lee, Style Council's backing singer, began a romantic relationship. The couple married in 1988 and divorced in 1994. They have two children Leah and Natt, who is also a working musician and once appeared on stage with his father at Hammersmith Apollo at age 12. Paul Weller also has a daughter by a short-lived relationship with a make-up artist.

While he was recording at the Manor studios in the mid 1990s, he became involved with Samantha Stock. They have two children. In December 2008 they broke up and Paul Weller moved in with Hannah Andrews, a backing singer on Weller's 22 Dreams who has toured with his band.

On April 24, 2009, John Weller, Paul Weller's father and long-time manager since the days of The Jam, died from pneumonia at the age of 77.
