Sex Pistols to reform for Live 8

Punk band The Sex Pistols are reportedly reforming for the Live 8 event in Hyde Park.

The News of the World claims that Bob Geldof contacted the former band members John Lydon, Steve Jones, Glen Matlock and Paul Cook two weeks ago, but they finally accepted the invite over the weekend.

A source told the newspaper: "The others said ‘Yes' straight away but Johnny took his time. He knew the rest of the band had given the reunion the green light so in the end he agreed.

"No one ever thought they would see the day that the Sex Pistols would reform. But because Live 8 is such a special event it has made it possible. And it wouldn't have been the same without Johnny."
