The inimitable ranting voice of John Lydon aka Rotten has graced far more than just the brief yet staggering catalogue of Pistols songs – not least his pivotal post-punk band Public Image Limited, whose full history has never been covered by a book until now.

After the Sex Pistols, Lydon went on to become one of the most influential and talked about stars in rock history. Lydon has since been a talent scout, a TV talk show host, a millionaire property developer and so much more. Lydon is now one of the most famous British ex-pats, while sporadic Sex Pistols reformations that have divided punk fans are nevertheless a massive commercial success. He was then propelled to a higher profile than ever as a contestant on a TV reality show, controversially walking out of the show before completion. Lydon’s recent successes have cemented his status as a national treasure. This book contains exclusive new interviews with members of The Clash, PiL and The Prodigy; this book recounts one of music’s most incredible stories.
