Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones says he has not spoken to singer John Lydon since their last gig together in 2008, saying it was “too much”.

Jones, 69, has since been performing with fellow bandmates drummer Paul Cook and bass player Glen Matlock (who was kicked out of the band’s original line-up and replaced with Sid Vicious), with Frank Carter of Gallows and The Rattlesnakes replacing Lydon on vocals.
