You are the best John ! Keep on telling it like it is. The world needs you. Cheers from Canada.

John Lydon, remains one of the most "inspiring" and "unselfish" individual's that i have ever met!! And may Nora RIP❤

Brilliant.

[@tinamitchell7496]

He remains a magnificent human being. Adore him. Would love to meet him one day.

Authentic, outrageous, and supremely talented. A genuine National Treasure ! (Staggeringly brilliant album - 'Hawaii' an instant classic.)

[@5150cappie]

The more I see and hear John, the more respect and admiration I feel for him. Also been listening to PIL catalog and the strength of his music and band rocks the sh*t out of mainstream. Love you, John - and blessings for you & family & crew. Mrs. Lydon still has an awesome mate - peace for all.

John lydon is one of those people in the music industry who has integrity everyone who has enjoyed his work over the years are sorry for his loss but as usual he is talking about being grateful for the years he had with his wife 🙏

[@cpmorgan5000]

To all kids out there with any interest in interviewing people in any capacity: the reason this interviewer was able to elicit such thoughtful and deep answers from a guy who has no problem telling people they suck is he used open-ended questions. The 5Ws is all it takes, and the stories about John creating the music for this album from the sounds he was hearing and lyrics he was signing as he was caring for his dying wife are priceless.

[@Tony-xn7sd]

Bless you John, a true legend, one of Englands finest xxx

[@PostcardAndAPint]

Excellent interview. I saw PIL last weekend and they were incredible. The Pistols are one of my favourite bands of all times, and I never really got into PIL, but I've seen them twice now and they were amazing both times!!

[@bardofely]

John Lydon is one of my favourite rock stars and singer-songwriters and I am looking forward to seeing him perform in Lisbon next month.

[@steveclem]

I could listen to him all day long.

[@videohits4ever432]

John Lydon is one of those people that can run rings around any interviewer and the media don't like that. This is an intelligent man that cannot be goaded into saying what a producer may want him to say simply for a soundbite. The interviewer wasn't very good but lovely to listen to John. He is himself, what you hear is what you get.

[@vaseofflowers4619]

John will always be relevant. I enjoyed his TV interview with Laurie Taylor for the show: In Confidence on Sky Arts. John's the only person from the music world I've ever seen on that show.

[@stevejenkins5630]

fair to say i don't always agree with him e.g. voting for Trump, ffs! but i'll ALWAYS respect and listen to his views, cos what needs saying needs to be said, obv! TFR!

Heartfelt condolences for Nora. Bless him for caring for his wife at home.

[@zoolook3264]

He always comes across as genuine and I think that scares a lot of people as they're so used to artists putting up a front / fake character. Was saddened to hear about Nora but it's obvious her presence will be with him forever.

Johnny, anti communist, anti marxist, thank god, he got that right, its why i love john lydon! Fantastic man 💪😎 💕

[@vincerutter1921]

Remember seeing pil live early 80s, at Poole art's center, I was amazed at there sound it was incredible, when they went into religion i was blown away a little too stoned at the time, saying that it's up there with the best live concert ever

You can tell how much Nora meant to John in how many times he talks about her in recent interviews, and how the band and writing this new album is serving as therapy for him to work through his sadness.

[@cybertronian2005]

Honestly feels like Lydon is the only person who still cares about that Disney show

[@Smoshy16]

Love John but his bit about the Pistol series was ridiculous. It was based on Steve Jones' recollections. It didn't need Lydon's input at all. Whether he liked it or not is neither here nor there.

[@chad9017]

Don't put yourself in a box. Rock and Punk. Something to think about. But that's probably beyond my skill level even tho I believe it's more important to have something to say (well) than to say anything perfectly.
