Johnny Rotten on the roof of his home, taking a break from recording tracks for his post Sex Pistols band, Public Image Ltd (PIL). Warwick Road, London, September 1978.


After the trauma of the Sex Pistol’s break-up and his bitter conflict with manager Malcolm McLaren, Johnny formed his band Public Image Ltd (PIL) with the line–up of bassist Jah Wobble and former Clash guitarist Keith Levene.
