Music site ContactMusic is reporting that the Sex Pistols may be considering a final show in Japan. John Lydon's official website is reporting that while many news outlets have run with the story (including its inaccurate reporting on the band's recent performances -- ignoring the much publicized 2002 and 2003 shows), all of the talk stems from Rotten's recent comments on the possibility of a show. Similar statements appeared in an earlier interview with The Sun in which the frontman answered reader questions. On the possibility of geting the band together again:

We enjoyed the reunion tour, because at last we actually got paid for something! But we've done it now. When we played Crystal Palace in 2002 that was our fond farewell to Britain. I could see a day when we played live together again - but only if it was in Japan and for plenty of filthy yen! My moral code isn't that strict. I've never done anything for the money, but I f***ing like the money!

When asked by authoritative fan site Sex-Pistols.net about the possibility of a Japanese show, guitarist Steve Jones simply replied "Bollocks!" The Sex Pistols previously played a North American tour in 2003. Members of the Punknews community reviewed the Toronto and Long Island shows.

In the interview Lydon also commented about the possibility of a Public Image Ltd. reunion as well as his upcoming solo work:

Me and (PiL bassist) Jah Wobble went for a great curry recently. He's a good mate and will be for life. But we're not getting back together.

…The last track on The Best Of British £1s is The Rabbit Song, which is part of a new solo album I am working on at the moment. We just haven't found a record label for it yet. I offered it to Virgin, but they showed no interest. They showed about as much interest in my new album as they did in putting out this current one. You can hardly call it over-promoted! It's a liberty really, seeing as Virgin made its name on the back of my career. What did they have before the Sex Pistols came along? Tubular Bells and that was it.

Lydon turned 50 this year. While his band have been named as inductees into the Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame the frontman has shown little interest in the designation.
