Former Sex Pistols Frontman John Lydon Thinks The Rolling Stones ‘Should Retire’

Former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon took an unexpected swipe at The Rolling Stones during an appearance on a British talk show Wednesday (May 7).

Appearing on the U.K.’s Good Morning Britain to promote his upcoming tour with Public Image Ltd., the former Sex Pistols frontman brought his fellow veteran rockers into the conversation while defending his own career longevity. As the program’s hosts burst into laughter, Lydon couldn’t resist making another jab, saying, “I’m not short of a song idea or two, so there’s a difference.” However, quick to acknowledge his comments had the potential to cause a stir, he jokingly added, “Hold on, I’ve offended music lovers!” while screwing his face up into a cheeky scowl.
