Eurovision reject Dustin The Turkey has described it as “bonkers” when he heard former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon wants to represent Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest – but legend Linda Martin will back the song if she thinks it is good enough.
Public Image Ltd, the post-punk band formed by John Lydon – whose goes by the stage name Johnny Rotten - following the break-up of the Sex Pistols, were among six acts announced by RTE as contenders for Eurovision this May.
PiL's entry is an emotional ballad titled Hawaii, described as a love letter to Nora, Lydon's wife of more than 40 years, who is living with Alzheimer's disease.
