John Lydon rejects "corporate" Brits

John Lydon has rejected the “corporate” Brit Awards’ attempt to use the Sex Pistols for credibility.

The punk star said organisers need not bother offering his old band a lifetime achievement award.

“I don't want to know,” he commented. “They're wasting their time and they've been doing that for a long time.

"They think they can just come along and use us. We're not a prop. We were never anyone's prop. They're just trying to glean some credibility,” he added. "I wrote something that meant something and had a serious effect on society.”
