After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed post-punk originatorsPublic Image Ltd (PiL). Widely regarded as one of the most innovativebands of all time, their music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 Singles and 5 UK Top 20 Albums.
With a shifting line-up and unique sound – fusing rock, dance, folk, pop and dub – Lydon guided the band from their debut album ‘First Issue’ in1978 through to 1992’s ‘That What Is Not’, before a 17 year hiatus.
Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009, touring extensively and releasing three critically acclaimed albums ‘This is PiL’ in 2012 followed by ‘What TheWorld Needs Now…’ in 2015 and ‘End of World’ in 2023.
PiL continue to challenge and thrive.
