The Sex Pistols Reuniting, Without Johnny Rotten, For London Benefit Shows

Three original members of the Sex Pistols – drummer Paul Cook, bassist Glen Matlock, and guitarist Steve Jones – are reuniting to play their iconic 1977 punk record, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols, in full to benefit the historic West London music venue, Bush Hall. Former Gallows/Pure Love frontman Frank Carter will assume lead vocals for the benefit gigs, with Johnny Rotten not taking part. The fundraisers are set to take place on August 13 and August 14. “We’re doing a benefit for Bush Hall with the famous Frank Carter,” says Cook. “We’re going to be playing Pistols’ numbers ’cause they need support and they need the money. This is my local venue. I grew up in Shepherd’s Bush and I still live round here. It would be a real shame to see it disappear and we want to keep it going. So everyone get down to the gig!” (Blabbermouth)
