John Lydon, more commonly known by his stage name Johnny Rotten, has announced he would like to “distance himself” from what he calls his former bandmates’ attempts to “cash in” on the death of Queen Elizabeth II. However, the Sex Pistols have called his statement “baffling” and say they do not know what Lydon is referring to.
Since the Queen’s death, Lydon has alleged via Twitter that the Sex Pistols “have approved a number of requests” against his wishes. The tweets originated from the account belonging to Lydon’s current band, Public Image Limited.
