"If the people of Iraq are being offered democracy, then they should understand it to its fullest extent, and that is the SEX PISTOLS..." said John Lydon in a statement yesterday. The mad bollocks singer pledged himself ready to play Baghdad with the Sex Pistols in support of the Iraqi people. The band are already set to tour North America this Autumn, but John Lydon says he is serious.
"If the Pistols put their mind to something then we should all know by now they fucking mean it," says the press release.
Lydon also made a statement regarding the Sex Pistols proposed Japanese tour:
"To the people," he said, "disregard misinformation supplied by other parties, the Sex Pistols Japanese tour has not yet been cancelled. Dates are still to be confirmed, but we can assure you we are working on it. All will be revealed soon,
"THIS information is irrefutable, it comes directly from the horses mouth himself Mr. Rotten. We are family, not fantasy, you can not doubt it because one is Mr Rotten and one is Rambo..."
