VIDEO: John Lydon Pays Tribute to Late Fan, Spreads Ashes During Gig
This moment is both super punk and still not even the strangest thing John Lydon has done on stage.
At a recent Public Image Ltd. show in the U.K., Lydon fulfilled a fan’s request of scattering the ashes of her late brother during the performance.
“This is for Stuart, a fan whose request is his ashes be spread on the PiL stage,” exclaimed Lydon. “Stuart, we love you! In memory! Stuart!”
Honestly, this sure beats spreading ashes anywhere in nature!
