SEX PISTOLS Frontman To Guest On 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' This Friday

March 8, 2006

SEX PISTOLS frontman John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten) will appear as a panel guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" this Friday night (March 10) at midnight. Earlier on Friday, fans can tune in to Indie 103.1 FM in Los Angeles and online at www.indie1031.fm to hear John and Steve Jones on Steve's radio show "Jonesy's Jukebox", airing between noon and 2:00 p.m. PST.

The SEX PISTOLS were picked late last year to join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, along with BLACK SABBATH, MILES DAVIS, LYNYRD SKYNYRD and BLONDIE, and induction ceremonies are scheduled for March 13 in New York City.

However, in a crude letter posted on their web site last month, the group made it clear that they would not be attending.

The SEX PISTOLS had been eligible for the Rock Hall since 2001, but voters snubbed the groundbreaking punk rock band in favor of such contemporaries as CLASH, POLICE and TALKING HEADS, reports The Associated Press.

They broke up after just one album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here Comes the Sex Pistols", but left a lasting legacy in rock, as Johnny Rotten and the late Sid Vicious shocked the rock establishment with songs like "God Save the Queen" and "Pretty Vacant".

The band broke up in 1978, but surviving members regrouped twice, the latest in 2003, for tours that caused some longtime fans to accuse them of selling out.
