The Who guitarist Pete Townshend has sold his £15 million London home.
The Richmond residence, which was constructed on Richmond Hill in 1775, was previously owned by The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, as well as stage and screen actor John Mills and record industry executive Derek ‘Dick’ Leahy.
Townshend purchased the property (which is known as ‘The Wick’) in 1996, and the guitarist has now sold the residence through the independent property consultants Pereds.
A property listing for the Grade I listed Georgian house, which looks out over the River Thames, details how the four-storey residence includes a heated swimming pool on the upper terrace, a studio/office suite, four cloakrooms, numerous bedrooms and a “dogs’ room”.
“The glorious views from The Wick are undoubtedly the greatest asset of its sensational position,” Pereds’ listing states.
“Uniquely the only English landscape view protected by an Act of Parliament, the prospect over lush meadows and mature woodland intersected by the River Thames is truly inspirational in all seasons.
“The views have been immortalised in paintings and drawings by numerous artists including Reynolds, Gainsborough and Turner.”
Pereds’ website now lists Townshend’s property as ‘sold’, with “offers in excess of £15,000,000” having been invited.

The Who work
out their 1978 classic “Who Are You” in a clip from their career-spanning
documentary, Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who, which is now available to
stream for the first time on the Coda Collection.
The clip
features some raw footage of the Who performing an energetic, albeit somewhat
shaky version of “Who Are You” while filming their 1979 documentary, The Kids
Are Alright. The performance marked the band’s first time together in more than
a year, and as Pete Townshend quips in the clip, “Unfortunately the band didn’t
play as well, but I think all of us had such a good time together. But we were
all wrecks!”
The live
performance is followed up by a much more meticulous and precise rendition of
“Who Are You,” captured during the studio sessions for the band’s album of the
same name. The album, however, would end up being the band’s last with drummer
Keith Moon, whose death and struggles with addiction are also discussed in the
final moments of the clip.
Amazing
Journey was directed by Murray Lerner and Paul Crowder and first released in
2007. Anchored by interviews with Townshend and Roger Daltrey, the film tracks
the band’s rise and career, and features a trove of previously unseen footage
and performance clips.
“It’s not
easy to capture in film the power and energy of any rock band, especially the
four characters that made up the Who, the brilliance of Pete Townshend’s music,
and the magic that happened between Pete, John, Keith and myself,” Daltrey said
in a statement. “But Who fans tell me Amazing Journey does just that. From the
moment that Keith joined us in the Railway Hotel back in 1964, it was like a
bottle of champagne being uncorked. We just clicked. And here we are, all these
years later — we’ve lost our dear bandmates Keith and John, and Pete and I
continue to play together and carry this story forward. Thanks to Coda for
putting this show up, and enjoy this film about our journey. I’m still living
it!”
Primal Scream
and Pet Shop Boys have both remixed Paul Weller’s single ‘Cosmic Fringes’, it
has been announced.
The original
version of the track was released back in February and appeared on Weller’s
latest album ‘Fat Pop (Volume 1)’.
Posting on
Twitter earlier (July 16), the Modfather confirmed that two new versions of the
song would arrive this week (July 23).
“Available
for pre-order now! Music legends unite for the Cosmic Fringes remixes on vinyl,
out on 23rd July!” he tweeted.
He said, “@Petshopboys
have done an epic 12-minute HI-NRG remix, a thumping fuzzing disco banger also
featuring Neil Tennant. Equally exciting, on the limited edition vinyl is a
remix by @ScreamOfficial’s Andrew Innes.”
In a
four-star review of ‘Fat Pop (Volume 1)’, NME described the original version of
‘Cosmic Fringes’ as “bursts into life with a pump of slick electro-pop synth,
Weller singing with playful braggadocio: ‘I don’t believe my luck when I see
him in the mirror.’”
Despite the
record being titled ‘Volume 1’, Weller has said he doesn’t know if he will make
another record. “It’s hard to say at the moment,” he said in May. “This is my
16th solo album! I can’t believe it!”
Meanwhile,
the musician recently reflected on being a part of the 1984 Band Aid charity
single ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?, saying that filming the music video was a
“horrible” experience.
“[The video shoot] was horrible. Everyone was getting off doing blow in the toilets,” he said. “It probably would have been all right for me in the ‘90s but I wasn’t into all that then. I was totally out of my comfort zone.”
Rolling
Stones guitarist Ron Wood said he's been working with former Faces bandmates
Rod Stewart and Kenney Jones on new music amid a series of musical projects
he’s involved with.
Several
attempts at reuniting have taken place since the band released its fourth and
so far final album, Ooh La La, in 1973. In 2008, Wood and Stewart wrote some
songs together, but a brief tour featured Mick Hucknall in place of Stewart,
who couldn’t find time in his schedule. The surviving trio managed to perform
at a low-key event in 2015, followed by a charity appearance later that year.
After another private event in 2019, they performed their classic “Stay With
Me” at the Brit Awards last year. Those shows took place without bassist Ronnie
Lane, who died in 1997, and keyboardist Ian McLagan, who died in 2014.
In a new
interview with The Times, Wood said he’s been having a busy time since buying a
new home in London. “I saw Mick [Jagger] here last week, and Rod and Kenney
were here yesterday," he revealed. “Me and Mick have done nine new tracks
for the [40th anniversary] re-release of Tattoo You. And me, Rod and Kenney
have been recording some new Faces music. ... I've had a front-row seat on some
amazing rock 'n' roll projects these past couple of weeks. I’m making every day
count. Not wasting a moment.”
While he
expressed hopes that the Stones would tour again soon, Wood added that he's
also releasing a tribute album to blues legend Jimmy Reed with former Stones
guitarist Mick Taylor in September. “I go through art phases when music is
secondary, but right now I really want to get out there and play," Wood
explained. Part of his motivation was the success of his most recent cancer
battle. “I’m well. I'm strong. And I'm adaptable. But it has taken a lot of
fighting, a lot of stamina to get through it.”
He said
Jagger’s health issues were in the past, too. “Mick is fighting fit, and we
both can't wait to get working again,” he noted. “Having said that, lockdown
was good for me, because when I got the cancer the second time, it enabled me
to face all those horrible treatments under the radar. I had a lot of chemo and
radiology, but I wasn't interrupting anyone else's schedule. I had the time and
space to focus on getting well.”
