John Lydon is still a bit Rotten to the core

He may be turning 60 soon, but with a new PiL album on the way, John Lydon is as irrepressible as ever, writes Andy Welch

IT’S UNLIKELY you could find a subject on which John Lydon doesn’t hold an opinion. In the first few minutes of opening his mouth today, he covers plumbing, Scottish independence, living in LA, occasional arguments with wife Nora, Clash Of Clans (his favourite iPad game), and his appearance on BBC’s Question Time back in 2012.

“I haven’t been invited back on, but I did enjoy it,” he says of his time on the panel.
