Sex Pistols rocker Johnny Rotten reveals shock new career move
SEX Pistols rocker Johnny Rotten is pimping up a push bike bearing his name.
The Anarchy in the UK singer, 67, has added a cartoon of himself to the £1,800 frame.
US company Ionic created a Johnny Rotten hardtail mountain bike in the early 2000s — now it is back with the former punk rebel’s seal of approval.
A source said: “This time they wanted to see if Johnny would put his name to it professionally, and he said yes.
“Johnny’s version of his bike is orange and features a drawing he did of himself performing and is signed by him.”
However, £1,800 will get fans only the frame with the cartoon. A full build of the high-performance bike is anything up to £6,800.
It is a world away from the Pistols’ 1970s heyday when they had seven UK top ten hits including God Save The Queen and Pretty Vacant.
Meanwhile, Johnny, real name John Lydon, will take his speaking tour I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right across the UK next May and June.
It will be the first time he has been on the road since wife Nora died aged 80 in April.
Earlier this year, he made a bid to be Ireland’s Eurovision entry with a song called Hawaii, dedicated to Nora who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2018.
