The former frontman of the Sex Pistols has announced he is coming to Norwich on his latest tour. 

John Lyndon, also known by his stage name Johnny Rotten, is going on tour next summer with his band Public Image Ltd (PiL) and will be performing at Epic Studios. 

It comes after Lydon thought the band might not tour again following the death of his lifelong friend and manager John Rambo Stevens last December.

This was just months after the death of Lydon’s wife Nora in April 2023. 

“After losing Nora, and Rambo, I couldn’t see a way through,” he said. "I’d already committed to the spoken word tour, this spring, and I never let anyone down – I always stick to my word – so I had to do those dates. 

“The thing is, people were so overwhelmingly positive, and they asked me to tour PiL again.

"With so many people asking and with the band meaning so much to them, I couldn’t just stay on my sofa and not tour". 

Lydon formed PiL in 1978 after he left the Sex Pistols and the band have had five UK top 20 albums.  

The 23-date tour billed as ‘This Is Not The Last Tour’ will be at Epic Studios on May 31 with tickets on sale at 10am on Friday.
