Johnny Rotten vs Jimmy Pursey At US Embassy

70’s punk relics John Lydon and Jimmy Pursey kicked off when they bumped into each other in the US Embassy in London.

Lydon, better known as Johnny Rotten when he fronted the Sex Pistols, threw a cup of coffee over former Sham 69 member Pursey, when they met in the queue for US visa’s.

Apparently the two wrinkly rockers have a rivalry that dates back to the 70’s when their respective bands were in their heyday, but Pursey claims he was trying to put it behind him when he saw Lydon walk into the Embassy.

The writer of ‘If The Kids Are United’ said: “I knew there’d be trouble when he swaggered in so I said ‘Let’s put this rubbish behind us’ and offered my hand. Next thing I knew he’d thrown his coffee over me.”

Lydon denies Pursey’s claims, stating, “All the usual low-rent and lies…What do you expect from a low-rent fake mockney two-bob runt?”
