Slade guitarist Dave Hill has said there is no "look to the future now" for the iconic rock band as he revealed he doesn't keep in touch with most of his former bandmates despite their success with Christmas hit song Merry Xmas Everybody.It comes as the renowned festive number first topped the charts fifty years ago and is still pulled out the bag for many celebrations over the Christmas period today although Dave confesses there's little chance they would ever get back together.The 77-year-old told the Mirror: "That won’t happen, not even for a one-off gig.

I cherish the memories of us years ago, but we’ve moved on in life and we’re all doing different things. Not everyone wants to continue.

But Slade is not a job with me, it’s a life."Dave is currently starting off a tour to mark the famous song’s anniversary and is now the only original member left in the band.

He's still pals with ex-lead singer Noddy Holder but has no contact with bassist Jim Lea and drummer Don Powell.Noddy was the first to quit the band in 1992 following reports of arguing among the group and shortly followed by Jim who was unwilling to go on without the lead singer at the time.Dave and Don continued until they had a band meeting in 2010 as all four members regrouped hoping to host a farewell reunion tour which spiralled into more spats and the pair also went separate ways three years ago now.
