Lydon postpones PiL album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 23 November 2010
John Lydon has announced that he is postponing the recording of the planned new Public Image Ltd album following the death of his step-daughter, Slits frontwoman Ari Up.
Lydon told the BBC: “We were going to go into the studio but in light of my step-daughter’s death, I really can’t be doing that at the moment. I don’t want to leave my wife alone for any length of time right now. So the music side has had to be held”.
He added that the band “all understand” his decision, saying: “They all knew her anyway. So it’s a good thing that we’ve taken a breather. It would have been impossible and would have affected the outcome of the record”.
