John Lydon says Sex Pistols fame ‘was mostly hell on earth,’ ex-bandmates ‘did the dirty on me’

The Sex Pistols officially split in 1978. Their bassist, Sid Vicious, died the following year at age 21.
Formed in London in 1975, the Sex Pistols energized and scandalized the English music scene with songs such as "God Save the Queen" and "Anarchy in the U.K."
"I don’t know that there was much glory," the 65-year-old told Metro UK. "It was mostly hell on earth. There was a constant pressure but I got to write the songs I wanted to write, got those lyrics out to Joe Public and Joe Public was very nice and appreciated it."
The star, also known as Johnny Rotten, said that the group’s controversial lyrics came with unwanted attention - and it didn't involve the public.
