Lydon, former frontman of the Sex Pistols, a band that made the monarch his number one public enemy, issued a series of messages on the social media accounts of Public Imaged Limited (PIL), his current group.
In those tweets, the artist says: “John Lydon wishes to distance himself from any Sex Pistols activity that seeks to profit from the death of Queen Elizabeth II.”
The statement then goes on to say that “the band’s musicians and their management have approved a series of petitions against John’s wishes based on the court’s majority agreement.”
That first text was accompanied by a classic image of the late queen.
“Tastelessness”
“In John’s opinion,” reads a second tweet, “the timing of endorsing any requests by the Sex Pistols for commercial gain with ‘God Save the Queen’ in particular is in poor taste and disrespectful to the Queen and her family at this time.” .
In this regard, a third and final message explains: “John wrote the lyrics to this historic song and while he never supported the monarchy, he feels that the family deserves some respect at this difficult time, as would be expected from any other person or family when someone close to them has died.”
Last Thursday, after the death of the monarch, Lydon used his official Twitter account and lamented the fact. “Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth II,” he posted, along with a photo of her and a snippet of the British anthem, “God save the Queen.”
