Rare Clash memorabilia discovered
Joe Strummer's unseen lyrics to be published
The Clash singer died in December 2002, but speaking in a newspaper interview today his wife Lucinda Mellor reveals that when going through his personal belongings she found a number of bags which contained the artefacts.
She told the Independent newspaper: "Each bag had a sharpener in it, each bag had cigarette papers, a matchbox, endless bits of napkins, kitchen roll, receipts. Each bag told a story which was amazing. I had done quite a bit of sorting before I really realised..."
The current plan is for the material to be put together in a book which will be produced in conjunction with artist Damien Hirst.
She continued: "It's not something that's going to be rushed into; it's going to be beautifully done. It'll be like an art book, with photographs, lyrics, drawings, maybe unreleased songs, rarities. It'll have CDs in it, rare Joe stuff – we'll see what we've got."
