“I’m shocked and saddened by Rick’s passing,” Weller said on X.
“I’m thinking back to us all rehearsing in my bedroom in Stanley Road, Woking. To all the pubs and clubs we played at as kids, to eventually making a record. What a journey!”

“I’m glad we had the chance to work together as much as we did. My thoughts are with Leslie and his family at this very difficult time.”
