Johnny Rotten Slams Brit Awards

John Lydon has dismissed the “all corporate” Brit Awards’ chances of awarding the Sex Pistols a life-time achievement award.

Following his refusal to attend his old band’s induction into the Rock N’ Roll Hall Of Fame earlier this year, Lydon, popularly known as Johnny Rotten, has told the Brits they are wasting their time trying to dole out awards to the punk rockers.

He rants, “I don't want to know. 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.

"I wrote something that meant something and had a serious effect on society.”
