54. With Japanese audience, as captured for posterity by Johnny Rambo, November 1996. I like to connect with my crowd, but I have to be very careful at some
gigs, because they will tear you to pieces - lovingly.

55. With my Dad at the Q Awards, Park Lane Hotel, 29 October 2001. My Dad was very proud of that award. He put it up on the dashboard of his skip truck -
best place for it.

56. With ostriches on
I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
, 27 January 2004. I’d forgotten that they’d smeared the
birds’ favourite food all over me - something like treacle - thus guaranteeing I’d be ripped to pieces. They forgot that the natural body odour of Johnny Rotten will repulse
anything.

57.
John Lydon Goes Ape
, Channel 5, Africa 2004. Having a bit of fun before we trekked 17 kms back into the jungle.

58.
John Lydon’s Shark Attack
, Channel 5, South Africa 2004. That’s how Rambo and I were dressed, swimming with great whites: it was
perceived by all the divers and trainers as borderline insanity, but I just knew clashing colours would be very off-putting for sharks. I proved the point, we’re still here.

59. With Rambo, Country Life Butter advert shoot, Lurgashall Village Green, 27 August 2008. What was going on in the background was really interesting -
Morris dancing!

60. Me and Nora on our boat. It doesn’t have a cocktail bar or anything like that. It’s only a little thing, but we like it.

61. That weird instrument is something PiL guitarist Lu gave me as a present. I always pretend I’m learning how to play it, so every now and again
I’ll send him a picture.

62. With Rambo, at Arsenal v Birmingham, League Cup Final 2011, Wembley. We won that one, didn’t we? Cough, cough.

63. Getting fitted for Jesus Christ Superstar, New Orleans, May 2014. I was going to be quite a repulsive character, but fully entertaining. An absolute
god-killer.

64. Jesus Christ Superstar cast and crew, on the day the show got cancelled, New Orleans, 30 May 2014. Includes Ben Forster second left, me centre, JC
Chasez next right, and Brandon Boyd far right. We’d all just been sacked, but we’re still smiling grimly through it.

65. PiL as we are today.
(l-r)
Bruce Smith, me, Scott Firth, Lu Edmonds. We’re a very happy bunch. We look out for each other. There’s a
lot of ideas going on all the time, and no ego fighting about who wants the biggest idea. It’s always, which is the best. That’s something I’ve strived for all my
life.
