Johnny Rotten - just shut the fuck up.

Jump to Comments

There are reports flying around in the last 24 hours saying that a fight broke out at a music festival in Barcelona, involving members of John Lydon’s entourage and Kele Okereke of Bloc Party.

It goes like this: At the Summercase Festival in Barcelona, Kele Okereke went over to spoke to his childhood idol, John Lydon, formerly Johnny Rotten. It was then that members of Lydon’s entourage are to have shouted racist abuse at Okereke, including something along the lines of: “Your problem is your black attitude”.

Three of the entourage are alleged to have then pounced on Okereke, punching and kicking him before Ricky Wilson (of Kaiser Chiefs) and Yannis Philippakis (of Foals) stepped in to mediate, and then they were attacked. The “unprovoked” attack has left Okereke with facial bruising and cuts to his face and body. Festival security then broke up the fight, while those involved were handcuffed and questioned. The fight was reported to both Spanish and British police.

Lydon has released a statement, carefully worded by the way, saying that “After the show, John Rotten and management remained behind to sign autographs, which we did for four solid hours without incident and had a great time talking to other Spanish bands.

“This seems to have sparked jealousy in certain bands.

“The trouble was brought to us, resulting in those causing the trouble being physically removed by festival security.

“It’s a shame that the wonderful world of the media is riddled with nonsense like this”

In reference to Okereke, Lydon added: “Grow up and learn to be a true man. When you have achieved as much as I have, come back and talk to me”.

All this says that Lydon is a hypocritical cunt. The old bastard seems a little angry at where the music industry is these days and has decided to join in the fun by reforming The Sex Pistols and making just a little more money from their legend. To top it off, he hangs around racist meatheads. And who said he was intelligent and progressive?

Lydon, you’re no longer as relevant as you once were and wish to be. Your time is over. You may not agree with the paths that contemporary musicians have chosen. That’s fine, your opinion is valid. That doesn’t mean that you have the right to so easily excuse an alleged racist attack by those associated with you.
You think that The Sex Pistols are the best thing to come from Britian? You’re sadly mistaken, you old twat. Fuck off.

Here are new items on the attack: The Age / The Guardian / The Telegraph / BBC News / Drowned In Sound
