“I’ve not spoken to Russell for a long time,” says Cocker of former guitarist, violinist and ideas man Russell Senior, who left Pulp at the height of their fame in 1997, and again in 2011. “Hopefully, the next time I go to Sheffield, I’ll try that. He was a very interesting guy, you know. He’d do things like throw all his change into the river to appease water spirits – things like that.”
