Rancour is still his anchor, as he proves by having a pop at a rival rocker, Birmingham’s very own Ozzy Osbourne. Does that mean that he has evolved into something cuddlier? Lydon, who called himself Johnny Rotten when he was lead singer of The Sex Pistols, is better known for agro, not Aga. The former Sex Pistol puffs belligerently on a ciggy, huddled in the freezing cold outside The Mailbox’s swanky Malmaison Hotel. So what exactly is John Lydon – punk rock’s man of the people – doing in a place like this? There’s one store, for example, that specialises in Aga cookers, that microwave oven for the chattering classes.Įverywhere you look, it’s all posh purchases and preening staff. The Mailbox is arguably Birmingham’s grandest shopping centre, where the shops sell products that even Alan Sugar is probably saving up to buy.
