A few months ago, the Sex Pistols announced that they would reunite for a couple benefit shows without their vocalist John Lydon, also known as Johnny Rotten. This new line-up is formed by the original members Steve Jones (Guitar), Paul Cook (Drums) and bassist Glen Matlock. They will be accompanied by the singer Frank Carter (Gallows, Pure Love, Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes). The shows happened last August 13 and 14 in support of the campaign “God Save The Venue”. The campaign was created in order to save Bush Hall, a small club located in London, which was built in 1904 and was the birthplace of many independent bands over the decades.

We thought it would be a great way to stop it going under. “This is my local venue. I grew up in Shepherd’s Bush and I still live around here. It would be a real shame to see it disappear and we want to keep it going. So everyone get down to the gig!” Paul Cook said.

And of course, the singer was not happy at all when Jones partnered with FX to make the 2022 TV show “Pistol”, which told the band’s story from his point of view. He even sued the band at the time trying to prevent that the songs of the band were used on the show. But he lost the legal battle and the show was released with the original tracks.The post Watch the Sex Pistols perform benefit shows with new singer appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
