He's a legend and an icon, a revolutionary and an immortal.

John Lydon - aka Johnny Rotten - changed the face of music and sparked a cultural revolution. The front man and lyricist of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd (PiL) caused a political earthquake and transformed music for good. In his spoken word show, I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right, Lydon is touring the UK.

He will talk about how he sees life, along with his unique and extraordinary career, and take audience questions during a pyrotechnic, one-off tour. Lydon will be sharing his thoughts with audiences. He Could Be Wrong. He Could Be Right.

John Lydon

John Joseph Lydon, also known by his former stage name Johnny Rotten, is an English singer-songwriter, television presenter and painter, best known as the lead singer of punk rock band the Sex Pistols from 1975 until 1978, and again for various revivals during the 1990s and 2000s. He is the lead singer of the post-punk band Public Image Ltd (PiL), which he founded and fronted from 1978 until 1993, and again since 2009. Prior to that, he made a surprise move appearing on ITV's I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2004. Throughout his life, Lydon has made controversial or dismissive comments about the British Royal Family and other subjects. Perhaps his most anarchic career move though was fronting a series of Country Life butter TV commercials!
