-
This
is
the
definitive
autobiography
of
John
Lydon,
one
of
the
most
recognizable
icons
in
the
annals
of
music
history.
As
Johnny
Rotten,
he
was
the
lead
singer
of
the
Sex
Pistols
-
the
world's
most
notorious
band,
who
shot
to
fame
in
the
mid-1970s
with
singles
such
as
'Anarchy
in
the
UK'
and
'God
Save
the
Queen'.
Via
his
music
and
invective
he
spearheaded
a
generation
of
young
people
across
the
world
who
were
clamouring
for
change
-
and
found
it
in
the
style
and
attitude
of
this
most
unlikely
figurehead.
With
his
next
band,
Public
Image
Ltd
(PiL)
Lydon
expressed
an
equally
urgent
impulse
in
his
make-up
-
the
constant
need
to
reinvent
himself.
From
their
beginnings
in
1978
he
set
the
template
for
a
band
that
continues
to
challenge
and
thrive
in
the
2010s.
He
also
found
time
for
making
innovative
new
dance
records
with
the
likes
of
Afrika
Baambaata
and
Leftfield.
Following
the
release
of
a
solo
record
in
1997,
John
took
a
sabbatical
from
his
music
career
into
other
media,
most
memorably
his
own
Rotten
TV
show
for
VH1
and
as
the
most
outrageous
contestant
ever
on
I'm
a
Celebrity
...
Get
Me
Out
of
Here!He
then
fronted
the
Megabugsseries
and
one-off
nature
documentaries
and
even
turned
his
hand
to
a
series
of
much
loved
TV
advertisements
for
Country
Life
butter.
Lydon
has
remained
a
compelling
and
dynamic
figure
-
both
as
a
musician,
and,
thanks
to
his
outspoken,
controversial,
yet
always
heartfelt
and
honest
statements,
as
a
cultural
commentator.The
book
is
a
fresh
and
mature
look
back
on
a
life
full
of
incident
from
his
beginnings
as
a
sickly
child
of
immigrant
Irish
parents
who
grew
up
in
post-war
London,
to
his
present
status
as
a
vibrant,
alternative
national
hero.
