Say what you will about John, always has been and always will be a charming and sharp fella.

[RagedContinuum]

Man, he looks rough; I hope we aren't losing him to some health issue

[seansands]

Please Jesus help John get better Amen

[frizzyred]

hes suffering from some illness, his posture and everything is really off, hope he keeps well but theres more to this than simply weight gain.

[lucyintheskyee]

a genuine soul in this fkd up world is hard to find god bless johnny 🙏🙏🙏

[Jenniferlwarm]

Jesus Christ I never would have recognised him now

[edclear]

Okay everyone, never mind the public image, it's his message that is important. Now a days it's all music by numbers, aiming to get a career going. That's why punk failed, too many copycats thrashed out conformist chord sequences with a vocalist chanting out chorus after chorus of crass content coz they all lacked insight and integrity.

Now a days, it's the meandering muddle headed middle classes who have taken over music, and their journey just takes you into a cul-de-sac of cretinous blandness which ends in the death of any intelligence you may have once had if you follow them down that route.

Whatever happened to innovation, experiment, improvisation???

Country Life Butter hasn’t done him any good, has it?

[StanTheObserver-lorx]

On the other hand, he's spent a life calling other people faults..like fat, excuses and weakness. Interesting to hear people make excuses for him...

[andreasleonlandgren]

He said some great things here. And all the comments are on his weight. Quite laughable

” Take a risk the pistols did it with me I am only returning the favour”.

I did this with an untrained drummer after a month he killed it

Skill plus personality is talent.

Skill on itself is a robot.

Children have a need to play without structure and rules this is something adult Also need.

[shoot_the_glass]

I find it hard to believe this is john lydon, it sounds like him I guess.

[summeronmars]

You need to lose that weight john because we don't want to lose you like so many others that have been taken from us too bloody soon

[porkwoofles]

John Lydon is a great inspiration. Love him!

[marlabloodstone]

And yet Keith Levene is universally considered one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time. PiL wouldn’t have been nearly the success without his amazing skills.

[charlie-girl]

John's wife is having mid stage of alzheimers! I still love him always he's the most true, I intelligent, talented and real guy in the whole music industry! Love you John! Always!🖤😎

[d.seymour]

Looks like Mr creosote from Monty python

[paulbanner]

Seen him with the Pistols and P.i.l.Still great 👍

[AlmostReady]

What a drag it is getting old.
Right behind you John

[alecbilicki]

Brilliant words from a brilliant man. I'm with him on this one.
