After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed post-punk originators
Public Image Ltd (PiL). Widely regarded as one of the most innovative
bands of all time, their music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20
Singles and 5 UK Top 20 Albums.
With a shifting line-up and unique sound – fusing rock, dance, folk, pop
and dub – Lydon guided the band from their debut album ‘First Issue’ in
1978 through to 1992’s ‘That What Is Not’, before a 17 year hiatus.
Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009, touring extensively and releasing two
critically acclaimed albums ‘This is PiL’ in 2012 followed by ‘What The
World Needs Now...’ in 2015.
John Lydon, Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth and Bruce Smith continue as PiL.
They are the longest stable line-up in the band's history and continue to
challenge and thrive
