Lydon refuses to apologise to Duffy

John Lydon has refused to apologise for upsetting Duffy at the Mojo Awards in June.

The Sex Pistols rocker reportedly shouted "F*** off, you c***" when the singer tried to hug him from behind as they posed for a group photo at the event.

Duffy was spotted shedding tears following the incident, but Lydon has no regrets, insisting that the singer's behaviour was inappropriate.

"Listen, barmaids across the universe cry over me nightly. What makes this one special? It's a poor young girl who made the mistake of trying to jump on my back," Lydon told the Daily Record.

"You know the world I live in. Most people who grab me from behind are full of ill content. This is just a young girl but she has to understand that that is not how you behave with strangers. I don't behave like that."
