John Lydon spreads cash from his butter ads
BEING married to a publishing heiress worth £50million you’d think John Lydon wouldn’t be short of a bob or two.
Yet Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, says the reason he agreed to star in the Country Life butter commercials was to make enough money to reform one of his old bands.
The former Sex Pistols frontman, 54, husband of Nora Forster, says he has ploughed the profits from the tongue-in-cheek television ad campaign into recording again with his Eighties outfit Public Image Ltd.

“For 18 years I haven’t been able to fund this so when that butter advert came along I was more than ecstatic,” he says.
