The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Legend and icon John Lydon — aka Johnny Rotten — will talk about how he sees life, along with his unique and extraordinary career. Lydon will reflect on the Sex Pistols, Public Image Limited (PiL), his art and his life’s story during informal evenings of conversation and audience questions.

An icon, a revolutionary and an immortal, as the frontman and lyricist of the Sex Pistols, Johnny Rotten changed the face of music and sparked a cultural revolution. He caused an earthquake which transformed music for good. During his remarkable years in Public Image Ltd he consistently pushed back the boundaries and still continues to challenge and thrive.

As a writer, Lydon has written two best-selling volumes of memoir: the excoriating Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs and the ridiculously entertaining and uncompromising Anger Is An Energy: My Life Uncensored.

Now he is embarking on his first spoken word world tour, where fans will get to hear his stories up-close and personal.

John said of the forthcoming shows: “I could be sh*t. I could be sh*te. I’m left-handed.”
