John Lydon has branded his former Sex Pistols bandmates “dead wood” for making a biopic without him.
The musician has been a vocal critic of Danny Boyle’s forthcoming TV series Pistol, which is based on Steve Jones’s memoir Lonely Boy: Tales From A Sex Pistol.
In August 2021, Lydon lost a court case against his former bandmates over the use of their music in the series.
It stars Toby Wallace as Jones, Jacob Slater as Paul Cook, Anson Boon as Lydon, and Christian Lees as Glen Matlock.
