John Lydon recently opened out about the loss of his wife Nora Forster, followed by the death of his manager.
According to NME, during a recent interview on Good Morning Britain, John acknowledged the impact of his wife, Nora Forster's, death in April 2023 on his mental health.
He subsequently lost his manager, who was also a longtime friend, less than a year later, prompting him to make a huge statement.
Following these incidents, the 69-year-old punk hero said he would never tour again.
However, during his most recent chat with broadcasters Ed Balls and Susanna Reid, Lydon reversed such claims, adding, "That's dementia for you."
"I forgot that bit," he said, perhaps attributing his earlier retirement claims to a moment of forgetfulness amidst his loss.
He then confirmed that he will continue to perform, adding, "As I already stated, sitting back and retiring is not for me. "I am not that kind of person."
"By all means, The Rolling Stones should retire, I'm not short of a song idea or two, so there's a difference," said the drummer.
While saying this, he created a hilarious facial expression and said, with a hint of mischief, "I've offended music lovers."
Susanna Reid chipped in, "I'm not sure you're concerned about causing offense."
It is important to note that John Lydon is well-known for making inflammatory statements.
"Certainly not," he confessed, continuing to joke. "I mean, comparing music lovers to The Rolling Stones is absurd."
