Rudd spotted alone

A fan spotted Phil Rudd walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 17, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Phil back on the market?

A rep for Phil Rudd was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the drummer was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (March 18), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Phil’s phone number?”
