Originally known as the bass player in The Clash, a lifelong artist and style obsessive, Paul Simonon was one of the key architects of the aesthetics of punk.

We spoke to him in Damon Albarn's West London Studio, where they were rehearsing for their upcoming tour as one half of The Good, The Bad & The Queen.
