RU-vid Channel for official Public Image Limited (PiL) website. This is PiL...
After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed post-punk originators Public Image Ltd (PiL). Widely regarded as one of the most innovative bands of all time, their music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 Singles and 5 UK Top 20 Albums.
With a shifting line-up and unique sound - fusing rock, dance, folk, pop and dub - Lydon guided the band from their debut album ‘First Issue’ in 1978 through to 1992’s ‘That What Is Not’, before a 17 year hiatus.
Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009, touring extensively and releasing two critically acclaimed albums ‘This is PiL’ in 2012 followed by ‘What The World Needs Now…’ in 2015.
John Lydon, Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth and Bruce Smith continue as PiL. They are the longest stable line-up in the band's history and continue to challenge and thrive.
I watch this with tears in my eyes. What a beautiful song. God bless you, Johnny Lydon. Thank you for your example, especially the love for your beautiful wife, Nora...through thick and thin. ❤
Oh my my my. Thank you John. I paddled outrigger canoe for 8 years representing Sacramento California. All the time PIL powered my every stroke. John, this is the most perfect love song- AND YES IT IS A LOVE SONG!

Only just discovered this collection of vids and I’m enjoying them Obviously the fact that it’s the true punk legend himself is helping greatly Nice one Johnny 👍🏼🎸🤘🏽👊🏼🍻🍺
He’s still one of the best frontmen of all time. That doesn’t change, And I think it’s because he’s always really told what he really saw and felt, even when that was ugly and unpopular. He did it with songs like “bodies,” and “God save the Queen” he’s doing it with his wife’s illness. That’s what makes his work go in the different direction to most and be so much better than most. I mean this is the guy that changed the entire direction of punk, into an art form that would call out wrongs others wouldn’t, and thought about “how things are and is that right,” far more than most. I’m glad he’s still singing. He’s still making the world confront fears like old age and watching a partner slip away. Things we don’t mention they’re so scary.
