Disclaimer – John Lydon and FX Pistol TV Series
The Sex Pistols website and social media has now become monopolised by the other members of the band and their management. John has been told not to post anything negative about the forthcoming Pistol TV series. Effectively, the Sex Pistols are now operating and communicating without the input of the driving force behind the band, Johnny Rotten. The below disclaimer is what they objected to.
You may have seen posts on Sex Pistols Official social media about the FX Pistol TV series. To be clear John Lydon has had no involvement in this "dramatisation". He has had no involvement in the script and has had no involvement with the actor who is portraying him.
John does not support or endorse this series.
John would also like to be very clear that he completely disassociates himself from the Fuck Forever merchandise available through the official Sex Pistols online store. It has come to John’s attention that the image being used is based on a real person from an old magazine cover. Out of respect for the family of that person John wants it to be known that he does not endorse or support the use of it for any Sex Pistols merchandise. However, the other band members and their manager made it clear they liked the Fuck Forever designs and proceeded against John’s wishes.
