In subsequent years, Lydon has hosted television series in the UK, US, and Belgium, 2004 appeared on I'm a Celebrity. The band produced eight albums and a string of singles, including ' Public Image', ' Death Disco', and ' Rise', before they went on hiatus in 1993, reforming in 2009. Īfter the Sex Pistols disbanded in 1978, Lydon founded his own band, Public Image Ltd, which was far more experimental in nature and described in a 2005 review by NME as 'arguably the first post-rock group'.

Because of their controversial lyrics and disrepute at the time, they are regarded as one of the most influential acts in the history of popular music. The band scandalised much of the media, and Lydon was seen as a figurehead of the burgeoning punk movement. With the Sex Pistols, he penned singles including ' Anarchy in the U.K.', ' God Save the Queen' and ' Holidays in the Sun', the content of which precipitated what one commentator described as the 'last and greatest outbreak of pop-based moral pandemonium' in Britain. Lydon's outspoken personality, rebellious image and fashion style led Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren to invite Lydon to join the group as its singer. He is also the lead singer of post-punk band Public Image Ltd (PiL), which he founded and fronted from 1978 until 1993, and again since 2009. He was the lead singer of the punk band the Sex Pistols, which was active from 1975 to 1978, and again for various revivals during the 1990s and 2000s.
