John Lydon 'disgusted' by Danny Boyle's Pistol comments
14 June 2022
John Lydon has branded Danny Boyle "disgusting" for dismissing his complaints about Pistol, the director's new Sex Pistols series on Disney+.
Lydon attempted to block the Sex Pistols' back catalogue from being used in the show, but lost a case brought by former bandmates Steve Jones and Paul Cook.
Hitting back, the punk legend told The Guardian: "Oh, how fey of him! It's disgusting, really. How can you be truthful when you don't involve the main frontman who wrote those songs and had to take the hidings and kickings and public admonishments?"
Challenging its authenticity, the 66-year old adds: "It's karaoke, really. The voices, the way they're talking... it sounds like a bunch of kids from (English town) Tring, all discussing the latest calamities! That ain't it at all! It's so off."
