Formerly Rotten, Sex Pistols vocalist, punk catalyst and all-round iconoclast John Lydon is busy. Knuckling down to write a forthcoming (twelfth) album with Public Image Ltd while touring the UK prior to embarking on another spoken-word tour in September, he’s in good shape and on fine form, despite significant setbacks. Lydon’s wife Nora died in 2023 following a five-year battle with Alzheimer’s, and later that year he lost his manager and oldest friend John Rambo Stevens. He recently found himself in the path of the California wildfires (again). And in February his favourite uncle passed.
