Former Clash stars Mick Jones and Paul Simonon have revived their punk partnership by recording together for the first time in almost 30 years.

The pair reunited for a guest appearance on the new Gorillaz album after being approached by the band's creator, Damon Albarn.

They worked on the title track of the third Gorillaz album, Plastic Beach.

Guitarist Jones told Q magazine: "It's a few years since Paul and I last played together and that was at a wedding. It was a nice experience to look over my shoulder and see him.

"We didn't argue as much as we used to. We were wrapped up on our track in a day, no nonsense, and then went down the pub for a pint."
