[edit] Personal life
Salisbury currently resides in Buxworth, Derbyshire with his wife Pam, sons Ben and Isaac, and step son Joe.
[edit] The Verve
The Verve reunited in June, 2007 for a new tour and a future album. Pete is believed to be have been the one behind getting the ball rolling in terms of reuniting the band. After Ashcroft learned that Salisury, was in contact with the former guitarist, Nick McCabe, over a possible side project, Ashcroft used this as an excuse to call McCabe. Ashcroft made peace with him and bassist Simon Jones and the band reformed. In a band interview with the NME in 2007, Salisbury mentioned that the problems between them weren't that bad in the first place.[1]
[edit] Other musical projects
After the band's demise in 1999, Salisbury played with various bands including Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. He filled in on a UK/EU tour in 2002 when their original drummer Nick Jago could not get a working visa[citation needed] for BRMC's British gigs. Salisbury also owns and runs a drum shop, Drummin, in Stockport, England. He also plays drums on the first three of Richard Ashcroft's solo albums and this was his most notable musical contribution away from The Verve. He is currently drumming for The Charlatans on their UK tour since original drummer, Jon Brookes, was diagnosed with a brain tumour while collapsing on stage.[2]
