After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed post-punk originators Public Image Ltd (PiL). Widely regarded as one of the most innovative bands of all time, their music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 Singles and 5 UK Top 20 Albums.
With a shifting line-up and unique sound â fusing rock, dance, folk, pop and dub â Lydon guided the band from their debut album âFirst Issueâ in 1978 through to 1992âs âThat What Is Notâ, before a 17 year hiatus.
Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009, touring extensively and releasing two critically acclaimed albums âThis is PiLâ in 2012 followed by âWhat The World Needs NowâŚâ in 2015.
John Lydon, Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth and Bruce Smith continue as PiL. They are the longest stable line-up in the band's history and continue to challenge and thrive.
