Lydon considering final Sex Pistols reunion

John Lydon is considering reforming seminal punk act the Sex Pistols for one final money-spinning show.

Lydon - who went by the stage name Johnny Rotten - has been approached to appear with surviving bandmates Steve Jones, Glen Matlock and Paul Cook in Japan.

And the God Save The Queen rockers are tempted to film the show as their final performance and go out with a bang - they last played together at their 20th anniversary gig in London in 1996.

He says: "There's been an offer in Japan… we might do it cos the money's great, but secondly it can be filmed and that can be an end-piece.

"We've done England. The hardcore were there (at Crystal Palace) and that's all that counts.

"And all those that weren't, like other punk bands, can go f**k themselves."

Lydon openly admits that the mutual hatred shared by the ex-Sex Pistols works brilliantly on stage, but makes touring impossible.

He continues: "We like the fact that we dislike each other. In a weird way it makes us like each other all the more.

"It's so brazenly in-your-face honest between us. I love being on stage with those chaps - and I wouldn't be seen dead with them off.

"And they'd tell you the same about me."
