As his Sex Pistols bandmates tour without him, John Lydon vows to “never” return to the band which kickstarted punk in the UK, calling them “woke” as he prepares for a tour of his own with Public Image Limited (Pil).
Late March saw original Pistols guitarist Steve Jones, bass player Glen Matlock – who was replaced early on by the late Sid Vicious, and drummer Paul Cook replace Lydon – who was known as Johnny Rotten in the band – with singer Frank Carter to play their first gig at the 100 Club in almost 50 years.
