Paul Weller criticises John Lydon for losing his edge

Paul Weller has said John Lydon has become the antithesis of what he once was, citing his I'm A Celebrity appearance and nostalgia for the Sex Pistols.

Paul Weller has hit out at John Lydon, saying that between appearing on 'I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!' and getting all dewy-eyed about his Sex Pistols heydays, he's lost his edge. Weller said: "I don't really understand him anymore. He's become the antithesis of what he once was. Does he need the money? Perhaps he misses the adulation, the buzz. Nostalgia has become a whole industry in itself... and I don't like it. You can never recapture what has gone".
