About John Lydon

John Lydon met Sid Vicious in high school and was invited to audition as singer for a fledgling band that would later be known as the Sex Pistols. On account of his decaying teeth John was re-christened “Johnny Rotten”. His scintillating vocal delivery and forthright lyrics - matched with the band’s power and energy - soon saw the Pistols build up a word-of-mouth following and they found themselves at the forefront of what would later become known as “Punk”.

When the Sex Pistols split in January 1978, John quickly moved on to Public Image Limited (PiL), blending a variety of different musical styles - there were no rules. The band continued in one form or another for three decades, releasing numerous albums and scoring some unlikely hits along the way.

In 2020 John published "I Could be Wrong, I Could be Right," featuring John’s random thoughts about the way he sees life, along with anecdotes from his unique and extraordinary career.
