Original SEX PISTOLS, Paul Cook (drummer), Glen Matlock (bassist) and Steve
Jones (guitarist) will perform their one and only album Never Mind The Bollocks
(still the best-ever punk LP in my book), in its entirety at a fundraiser for London’s
historical, small Bush Hall venue in Shepherd’s Bush on August 13 and 14.

As they distanced themselves and vice versa of former voice/face Johnny Forgotten Rotten who became a far-right thinking idiot, who is a fanatic fan of would-be dictator Donald Trump Duck and who recently wore a t-shirt with ‘0% LIBERAL’ on it will not front them (it would be hypocrite and pathetic if he still would sing a Sex Pistol track, any
one of them).

Sharp-cutting vox Frank Carter (from FC & The Rattlesnakes who released
one of the best albums of 2024 with Dark Rainbow) will replace him.

Cook: “We’re going to be playing Pistols numbers cause they need support and they need the money. We thought it would be a great way to stop it going under. This is my local venue. I grew up in Shepherd’s Bush and I still live round here. It would be a real shame to see it disappear and we want to keep it going. So everyone get down to the gig!”

Jones: “If it all goes wrong. It’s Paul’s fucking fault.”

Glen Matlock: “Smaller music venues are the lifeblood of new music. It’s in these intimate spaces where the spirit of live music truly comes alive so we need to keep them going.”

Carter: “When the Sex Pistols call, you answer. I’m very excited to be a part of it.”

Bye bye, Johnny,
bye bye, Johnny B. bad.
