Cynthia Kroet, writing for Politico:
Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten backed Brexit and called former UKIP leader Nigel Farage “fantastic” in a TV interview Monday. […]
He said that after Farage’s encounter with Bob Geldof before the Brexit vote — when the two led opposing flotillas along the Thames, shouting insults at each other — “I wanted to shake his hand because it was silly beyond belief.”
The “Pretty Vacant” singer was also asked about U.S. President Donald Trump and said he was a “complicated fellow” but blamed the “left-wing media” for dubbing Trump racist.
Sellout.
Sex Pistols About Talked About Writing New Music in 1996
Apparently back in 1996, the Sex Pistols considered releasing new music. NME reports that the lone dissenter was John Lydon.
Matlock went on to reveal that he had been keen to write new music during their first reunion: “Back in 1996, there was a bit of talk about it. Me, Steve [Jones] and Paul [Cook] [wanted to] but John thought shy of it. I don’t know why, maybe he thought stuff that he’d written didn’t match up to [the past] and that [the band’s legacy] might be diminished by it somehow.”
