Lydon, who objected to the limited series from Danny Boyle, tells The Sun: “I don’t really want to watch it but I will need to fact-check it. I have not seen one single second of it. Not any script, I’ve been completely ostracized...To be misrepresented in such a rude manner is unacceptable. If there was any truth in it, they wouldn’t have kept it from me. They were putting this together for three solid years behind my back without involving me in any way, shape or form." Lydon says bandmates Steve Jones and Paul Cook can "f*ck off" for allowing the project to proceed over his objections. “The underhandedness of it is preposterous and the assumption that I would be negative right from the start is clearly ludicrous in itself," he says. "I wrote all those songs. I’m the image, it’s my name they’re using to promote it, Monsieur Rotten here.”
