Sex Pistols icon aims brutal swipe at The Rolling Stones with 12-word remark | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

A Sex Pistols legend has aimed a brutal dig at the Rolling Stones.

Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones is currently gearing up to perform a charity concert for Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall with former Gallows and Pure Love frontman Frank Carter.

The punk band will run through their much-loved album ‘Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols’, performing such classics as God Save The Queen and Anarchy in the UK.

However, the 69-year-old guitarist appeared to rule out any prospect of new Sex Pistols material, citing the iconic rock and roll band The Rolling Stones as an example of why they’d likely stick to the classics.

Steve told the Mail: “If you do anything new, and you’re playing it live, that’s when people go and get a drink. When was the last time you heard a good Rolling Stones song?”

He continued: “You really have a window when you’re young, where you’re really creative and you’re on the ball. When you’re older, it runs out.”

John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, will not be performing with the remaining members, having been involved in a dispute with the band over a Danny Boyle-directed TV series about the group, titled Pistol.

Loudwire reported last year that Lydon had sued in an effort to prevent the band’s music from being included in the series. He ultimately lost and admitted to the Telegraph at the time that he was “seriously in a state of financial ruin”.

Lydon, who added that he’s “practically this close to zero”, went on to say: “I’m f****d, and I’m scuppered in so many different ways. All I’ve got at age 65 is the chance to start again.”

Last year, the ever-outspoken former frontman shared his thoughts about whom he dubbed the “mean” and “nasty” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Speaking to Taunton and South Somerset magazine, he discussed the Pistols’ hit God Save the Queen, describing it as “never personal” but more about the monarchy as an institution.

Yet, once the subject switched to the present day royals, John was open about his views on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, saying it was “very hard to think kindly” of them.

John said: “I don’t want to be judgemental, but it’s very hard to think kindly towards them when they’re so damn nasty to their own families.”
