Access All Areas: John Lydon

From Access All Areas, 2:00 pm on 19 May 2012

Johnny Rotten aka John Lydon first set the world on fire with the Sex Pistols, who imploded on their first American tour in January 1978.

Within 12 months Lydon went on to form the more experimental Public Image Limited which NME dubbed "arguably the first post rock band". Fast forward to 2012 and Lydon is preparing to release his first album with PIL in 20 years, called This Is PIL.

Trevor Reekie talks to John Lydon about the new PIL album and what makes his world go around.
