Hardly surprising, this – John Lydon has said that he would not turn up to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Brits. As previously reported, the ceremony is rumoured to be going live next year, with sources suggesting that organisers would like to give The Sex Pistols an award, not least because it might shake things up a bit.
Lydon says: "I don't want to know. They're wasting their time and they've been doing that for a long time. They think they can just come along and use us. We're not a prop. We were never anyone's prop. They're just trying to glean some credibility. I wrote something that meant something and had a serious effect on society."
