Lita Ford & Joan Jett Make Up

The former Runaways meet for the first time in years

Published 30th Nov 2011

Ford's dispute with her former bandmates has been pretty vocal in recent years but it seems that they are looking closer to a reconciliation after Ford and Joan Jett recently met up.

"I hadn't seen her so long. We exchanged guitar picks," Lita told the Chicago Tribune. "I just thought it was about time to see her. I reached out to her, and she reached back to me, so it was meant to be. She could have told me, 'Ah, go stick your head in the toilet,' but she didn't. It was great. I told her in the e-mail, 'If you want, you can tell me to (expletive) off. It's fine, but I would really love to see you.' She was a sweetheart."

And with the two bandmates meeting, it's clearly going to reignite Runaways reunion rumours - which is something that definitely interests Ford.

"I would love it if a THE RUNAWAYS reunion were to happen. I can't answer that question, but I would love it," she said. "We were ahead of our time. Now, people are realizing we were ahead of our time. We inspired so many different artists, and not just girls."
