John Lydon’s plumb crazy idea
HE was a music pioneer as Johnny Rotten in The Sex Pistols and now John Lydon has found a very punk new sound… from his loo.
The Los Angeles-based eccentric who brought us God Save The Queen and Pretty Vacant has used a portable tape recorder to capture toilet bowl sounds for his next, as yet untitled, album.
John, who turned 55 yesterday, said: “I’ve been working with anything I can see surrounding me. Anything that creates a sound is a good thing.

“If, like me, you do your own plumbing, my God, you’re not short for tunes. I have made sounds out of toilet bowls.”
Lydon is very happy spending his days working in his home studio and searching the house for musical inspiration.
“There’s nowhere I want to go,” added the domesticated rocker, who lives a few steps away from the beach with his wife, publishing heiress Nora Foster.
