The Sex Pistols and their fans meet up at The Deux Magots brasserie, the day after their first gig abroad. Paris, 4 September 1976.

This photograph was taken the day after the first night of the Sex Pistols’ two performances at the Chalet Du Lac, Paris. Myself and journalist Jon Ingham had travelled to Paris in a van with a group of ardent fans whom I called The Bromley Contingent. We all, musicians and fans, had time to flâneur in Paris before that night’s gig. I thought it would be fun if we all met up at The Deux Magots, the favourite hangout of artists and writers from Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti and Jean-Paul Sartre to Andre Gide, Ernest Hemingway, and Françoise Sagan. In the photo are, from left to right, Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook, photographer Ray Stephenson, Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten, Steve Havoc soon to be on stage playing bass with Siouxsie and the Banshees, Billy (born William Broad) soon to be Billy Idol, the lead singer of Generation X, a glimpse of fan Siouxsie, Sex Pistols bass guitar Steve Jones and Sex Pistols guitarist Glen Matlock.
