On 5th April the controversial former sex pistol John Lydon lost his beloved
wife Nora Foster, after a 5-year battle with Altzheimer. She was 80.
They were married for 44 years. Professionally she was an actress, model
and music promoter. She had a daughter from another marriage , the late
great Ari-Up (1962-2010), who fronted female punk band The Slits in the 70s.

Lydon and his band PiL announced just now the release of
their 11th LP, titled END OF WORLD. It arrives on 11 August.
Pre-order info here.
The album was recorded before Foster passed away.
The release will be followed by a 38-date tour in
the UK/Europe.
First single PENGE is quite special, for PIL that is.
