John Lydon has blamed "prospective immigrants" for creating "real animosity" in the UK. The 'Anarchy in the UK' hitmaker - who moved to California in the 1980s with his now-late wife, German-born heiress Nora Forster - bemoaned the transformation of "vibrant" seaside towns in Britain to becoming more "run down" and divided, pinning the blame on people coming to live there from overseas. Explaining how much of his forthcoming tour will take place in seaside towns, which he believes show how "run down" the country has become, the 68-year-old former Sex Pistols frontman told LBC's Andrew Marr: “T...

The reality of being in a band — or frankly any group of people with varying personalities — is that not everyone will have the same memories of their time together. There is perhaps no greater example of this than the Sex Pistols, who made their debut in 1975 and turned the London music scene upside down in a matter of three years. Their one and only album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols, came out in 1977, and effectively changed the way thousands of young musicians thought of what subversion could sound like. There would, arguably, be no such thing as “punk” music as it’s kn...

John Lydon sleeps next to his wife's ashes. The Public Image Ltd. frontman's beloved spouse Nora Forster died in April at the age of 80 following a long battle with Alzheimer's and the 67-year-old rocker admitted adjusting to life on his own has been "harder" than he expected. He told The Times newspaper's Saturday Review: “Actually it has been much harder than I thought. “I thought I would be able to handle this side of it, but it is, if anything, worse. I like to sleep with Nora’s ashes in the cupboard next to the bed because there is no expectancy of meeting her in this life again. And if t...

John Lydon saw his late wife's battle with Alzheimer's as a "gift from God". The 67-year-old rocker insisted seeing Nora Forster - who died last Friday (07.04.23) aged 80 - go through a decline due to the disease hadn't been a "curse" because it was an opportunity for "enormous self-reflection". In an interview conducted just days before Nora passed away, John told Telegraph.co.uk: “All the sadness I had to go through [when Nora became ill] is self-inflicted on myself and I’m seeing the light in it now. “In an odd weird way this is actually a gift from God, not a curse. Because it offers enorm...

Steve Jones' relationship with Chrissie Hynde was "showbizzed up" for 'Pistol'. The former Sex Pistols rocker admitted the portrayal of his romance with the Pretenders singer - before she found fame - as being instrumental to the success of the punk band in the new Disney+ series didn't quite reflect reality and the 'Brass in Pocket' hitmaker was "shocked" when she first tuned in to the programme. He said: “You’ve got to showbiz it up a little bit, you’ve got to make it interesting." Speaking specifically about his and Chrissie's brief romance and how she had been made the "love interest", he ...

Steve Jones has "never had any connection to the monarchy". The 66-year-old musician played the bass on the Sex Pistols' controversial record 'God Save the Queen' - which was released during Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee in 1977 - and he admits that the monarchy still doesn't mean anything to him. He shared: "I’ve never had any connection to the monarchy, to be honest. It meant nothing to me, still doesn’t. So to me it was just a laugh, it was a giggle. I didn’t realise it would offend a lot of English people. They took it personally. It was a stab against the Queen." Steve admits to being ...

The 65-year-old rocker is a full-time carer for Nora Foster, who he calls Babbie, and though it isn't easy to tend to all her needs himself, he insisted he won't put her into a specialist facility. According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he wrote in his book 'I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right': “We’re not dealing with the walking dead. It’s a matter of memory fusing in and out. “I had those issues when I was younger, coming out of meningitis. So I’m absolutely in the right place for it. It ma...
