JOHN LYDON
John Lydon (born 31 January 1956), also known by his former stage name Johnny Rotten, is an English singer, songwriter, and musician, best known as the lead singer of punk rock band the Sex Pistols from 1975 until 1978, and again for various revivals during the 1990’s and 2000’s. 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. (More from Wikipedia)
Sex Pistols disintegrated just two weeks into their first American tour. Less than a week after their San Antonio date, Johnny Rotten left the Pistols and started a new band called Public Image Limited (often shortened to PiL); he also reverted to his real name John Lydon.
