Paul Weller will headline a special event at Osborne House on the Isle Of Wight later this summer. The show is due to take place on July 26. The 19th century property is situated in the North East of the island and once played host to Queen Victoria. Tickets go on sale on Monday (April 21) and will be available from www.ticketzone.co.uk or through 08705 321 321.

"He was the most wonderfully fluid keyboard player and a pure natural musician. I loved him very much ... we grew up together."
