Public Image Ltd is a post punk/ experimental rock band from London, England. The members include John Lydon, Bruce Smith, Lu Edmonds and Scott Firth.

Previously the lead vocalist of the popular punk band the Sex Pistols, Lohn Lydon formed Public Image Ltd after the breakup of the Sex Pistols in 1978. Lydon asked childhood friend, Jah Wobble to form a band together, later adding Kevin Levene and John Walker. By May 1978 the whole band had come together and had started rehearsing together and released a debut single “Public Image.” Despite having a few setbacks with their debut album, they released “Public Image: First Issue,” in December 1978.

In early 1979 Walker left the band, which resulted in a series of drummers to replace him, as well as a series of recorded songs. Public Image Ltd. had a series of shows, including a tour of the United States. In 1980 the band saw the release of “Paris Au Printemps,” which also happened to be the last album that included Jah Wobble (who was never formally replaced). Throughout the 80s the band released five albums, as well as a series of tours and in 1990 they released their first compilation, “Greatest Hits, So Far.” They released their last studio album before taking an extended hiatus in 1992 entitled “That What Is Not.” The band did not reunite until 2009 for a series of shows in the United Kingdom.

Live reviews

It is always great to see down to Earth public image Ltd. Never light in subject matter or advice. PiL come across as a happy bunch that all get on well, which I feel is a good thing for Mr. Lydon going through all the years his had of fall outs, ego trips, split ups, arguments and court cases.

The voice of Lydon seems to be going more operatic as he gets more and more experienced in what his trying to reach personally I feel. PiL are not a live musical jam anymore of which is a shame, but instead PiL are a well worked out tight unit with timing most essential on prerecorded drum beats and synthesisers, they educate you while they make you dance. Lydon writes as it is in this World today and informs of the things in life that should be well avoided.

Starting off the set with warrior was great in a country like Japan that obviously has a huge history of Warriors and questions people if they are warriors as well. All the songs you would want to hear where played, great live versions of this is not a love song and the flowers of romance. You always get good quality from public image Ltd and that goes for the merchandise sold as well, something always different on offer, this time, narrow long public image ltd towels along with some great t shirts. Public image Ltd keep going strong and keep going along and that is a great, great thing to have around. 10/10 ;)

Report as inappropriate

Personally I was disappointed with the sound, the set-list and the performance. A couple of tracks got the some audience reaction e.g. "Murderer" ; I think it was so the young & old members of a small turn-out could shout the word "Murderer" like a chant. The biggest difference was the set-list, I admit I'm not a big follower of P.I.L. new output but there are a few good tracks in there. I saw them at the Buckley Tivoli last November (Yes, it did coincide with the big Rugby match) but I'm not interested in Rugby but it could have helped the great atmosphere last year. This May night just didn't feel right and I hate it when they try and do tracks off 'Metal Box' live - they're just dreadful. The venue seems to be a venue for comedians or those copycat bands. The one thing that put me in a bad mood before the gig even started was the merchandise table selling P.I.L's new Hits album signed by the great man (I'm pretty sure he signed them as Johnny Rotten) for the outrageous price of £30, I think I died a little inside.

The actual gig seemed a bit out of sync, highlights (highlights????) were 'Religion' 'Double Trouble','the previously mentioned 'Murderer' and well, well nothing, no support act, etc and even the spiel Lydon sayed seemed scripted

The concert began in darkness. Then the lights were on as Public Image Ltd. took the stage, their logo on a banner hanging from the back wall as the band struck up the first chords of their opener "This Is Not a Love Song." The crowd was already wild, dancing, cheering, and jumping up and down.

John Lydon, clad in pinstripes, took off his suit jacket in the middle of a break from singing amidst cheers from the audience before continuing his unique sing-songy growling and trilling into the microphone. Waving his hands back and forth like a mad scientist, John Lydon, with his shock of bleached hair, was a sight to behold while performing. It was obvious that he was feeling the music entirely and letting it work its way through his limbs as he continued performing the remainder of the concert.

When John asked if the audience was ready in the middle of "This Is Not a Love Song," the audience triumphantly cheered "Yes!" and they weren't lying. It didn't matter what song they played; the audience was hanging on every word, every note of each song they performed. Two of the most extraordinary cheers from the audience came after "Death Disco," and their closer "Open Up."

I’ve loved PIL for about 35 years, and this is their 40 year tour. Johnny Rotten still retains some of the old attitude, but isn’t quite the stage presence he used to be. His band is great, he has chosen well, but his vocal attitudes aren’t near as sharp. They played about a half dozen songs from 1990 on back, my favorites, and many more of their newer ones, which I wasn’t AS familiar with. I would give them about 3 of 5 stars on the PIL performance scale compared to previous shows I had seen in 89 and the early 90s. They kicked butt then! But I have to hand it to him, still rockin at 40 years.

Fantastic gig! As an Englishman living in Japan, this was the first time I've seen Public Image Ltd in Tokyo. Compared to seeing them in London, the audience might have seemed less rowdy. I remember when the lights shone on the audience between songs, John said, "Oh, you are there!". Then, before the encore, the audience started singing. I thought it was lovely when John came back on stage and said, "aaaah, you're singing" and clearly seemed endeared by the acknowledgement of the audience that we absolutely loved the gig.

Really good show from start to finish. John Lydon has an energy and a stage presence unlike many people touring at the moment. Their renditions of old hits are also incredibly catchy and well executed. Credit goes to Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth and Bruce Smith for being such excellent musicians.

Shout out goes to Dreadzone as well, the opening act. I had never heard of them before, but they were great too!

El show en Vorterix fue excelente, la banda estuvo muy profesional y Lydon - para lo que es él - fue muy atento con el público.

Con 13 temas sin fisuras, más 2 en el bis, repasó los hits de su carrera más los nuevos temas. Un muy buen espectáculo que reafirmó la buena impresión que me causó a fin del siglo pasado en el estadio Obras. Pablo Vázquez

The sound could have been better, but it improved as the night went on. What a fantastic gig.

John Lydon is a lyrical genius.

The sound from PIL is unique and incredibly creative. They had a simple but very affective backdrop.

The gig was sold out and it is easy to tell why.

The pubs around the venue was filled with fans from early on the evening.

Obviously, they are ready to end the tour. They need some new material since most of the set (besides Religion, Public Image and Corporate ) sounded the same. Some of the songs were just piss poor like Betty Page and The One. I had to go out side they were so embarrassing. The sound system in Sacramento needs major work.

Great gig. As expected, Johnny was really good and funny. Played lots from his new album and also his Leftfield track ( burn Hollywood). I was a little disappointed they didn't play the good old signature Public Image song, but I still enjoyed the gig very much.

Public Image Ltd. debuts “Car Chase” — 3rd single off upcoming “End of World”

Public Image Ltd. this week debuted the third single — the bass-driven “Car Chase” off the band’s upcoming 11th album End of World , which is due out in August. The song is accompanied by a new music video that you can watch below.

The 13-track album is due out Aug. 11 (Pre-order: Amazon.com , Amazon.co.uk , Apple Music ), and is bookended by the other two songs the band already has released: album opener “Penge” and closer “Hawaii,” the song John Lydon wrote for his wife Nora Forster as he was losing her to Alzheimer’s disease. She died in April .

Of “Car Chase,” Lydon says:

“Typical PiL, unpredictable to the last. It’s a fantastic smash-and-grab of a song. It’s about someone who cleverly breaks out of the mental institution every night, unbeknownst to his owners. It’s based on having to go to shopping malls at night for cigarettes and wine and seeing the vast carpark space and lighting surrounded by a little village and a lot of dark trees and country lanes. It’s a really creepy scenario, what if somebody creeps out of there, like a mad lunatic?”

PiL also is plotting a 38-date tour of the U.K. and Europe, which opens Sept. 8 with a pair of shows in Greece, followed by a U.K. run through September and then European dates all through October. Full tour date below.

The new PiL album is the band’s third since reuniting in 2009; the group’s lineup since then has included drummer Bruce Smith, guitarist Lu Edmonds and bassist Scott Firth.

Here’s the new song “Car Chase” and its video:

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Nato supports Bosnia’s territorial integrity and is concerned by “malign foreign interference,” including by Russia , in the volatile Balkans region that went through a devastating war in the 1990s, Nato’s secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg , has said.

Sarajevo is the first stop on Stoltenberg’s tour of western Balkan countries that will also include Kosovo, Serbia and North Macedonia, the Associated Press reports.

“The Allies strongly support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia-Herzegovina,” Stoltenberg told reporters. “We are concerned by the secessionist and divisive rhetoric as well as malign foreign interference, including Russia.”

There are widespread fears that Russia is trying to destabilise Bosnia and the rest of the region and shift at least some world attention from its war in Ukraine .

Morning summary

The US secretary of defence, Lloyd Austin, arrived in Kyiv on Monday for a visit. “I’m here today to deliver an important message: the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine in their fight for freedom against Russia’s aggression, both now and into the future.”

Two people were killed early on Monday after Russian forces shelled a parking lot in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, authorities said. Regional prosecutors opened a war crimes investigation into the artillery strike, which occurred at about 9am (7am GMT) and injured one other person, the regional prosecutor’s office reported.

A Ukrainian soldier and a woman have died after a grenade exploded in a Kyiv apartment, police in the Ukrainian capital have said, but the cause of the blast, which injured a second man, was not immediately clear. Explosives technicians and investigators were working at the scene of Sunday’s explosion in the Dniprovskiy district, Kyiv police said in a statement.

The Ukrainian army said it had pushed back Russian forces “three to eight kilometres” from the banks of the Dnipro River, which if confirmed would be the first meaningful advance by Kyiv’s forces months into a disappointing counteroffensive . Ukrainian and Russian forces have been entrenched on opposite sides of the vast waterway in the southern Kherson region for more than a year, after Russia withdrew its troops from the western bank last November.

A Ukrainian teenager who was taken to Russia from the occupied city of Mariupol during the war and prevented from leaving earlier this year has returned to Ukraine . Bohdan Yermokhin, who turned 18 on Sunday, appealed to Zelenskiy this month to help bring him back to Ukraine. “I believed I would be in Ukraine, but not on this day,” Yermokhin told Reuters while eating at a petrol station after crossing the border.

About 3,000 mostly Ukrainian trucks, including those carrying fuel and humanitarian aid, were stuck on the Polish side of the border on Sunday due to a more than 10-day blockade by Polish truckers, Ukrainian authorities said . Polish truckers earlier this month blocked roads to three border crossings with Ukraine to protest against what they see as government inaction over a loss of business to foreign competitors since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Air defence units in Moscow intercepted a drone targeting the city late Sunday, mayor Sergei Sobyanin said . Sobyanin, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said units in the Elektrostal district in the capital’s east had intercepted the drone. No casualties or damage were initially reported. Air defences had also thwarted a drone attack on the Russian capital overnight to Sunday, authorities said earlier.

Russia launched 20 Iranian-made Shahed drones targeting Kyiv and the Cherkasy and Poltava regions overnight into Sunday, the Ukrainian military said, of which 15 were shot down . The overnight strikes on Kyiv were the second attack on the Ukrainian capital in 48 hours, said the city’s military administration spokesperson, Serhii Popko.

Five people including a three-year-old girl were injured in Russian artillery shelling of Kherson on Sunday morning, the Ukrainian interior minister, Ihor Klymenko , said . “All of them sustained shrapnel wounds. The child and the grandmother were walking in the yard. Enemy artillery hit them near the entrance,” Klymenko said on the Telegram messaging app.

The pro-war Russian nationalist Igor Girkin , who is in custody awaiting trial for inciting extremism, said he wanted to run for president even though he understood the March election would be a “sham” with the winner already clear . Girkin, who is also known by the alias Igor Strelkov, has repeatedly said Russia faces revolution and even civil war unless President Vladimir Putin’s military top brass fight the war in Ukraine more effectively. A former Federal Security Service (FSB) officer who helped Russia to annex Crimea in 2014 and then to organise pro-Russian militias in eastern Ukraine, Girkin said before his arrest that he and his supporters were entering politics.

The Kremlin, facing the prospect of a European Union ban on imports of Russian diamonds, said on Monday that EU sanctions tended to have a “boomerang effect” on those who applied them, Reuters reports.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov was commenting on a proposed EU ban on diamond imports from Russia as part of a new sanctions package against Moscow over the conflict in Ukraine .

Russia is the world’s biggest producer of rough diamonds by volume. Peskov told reporters such a move had been anticipated for a long time, but was likely to backfire.

“As a rule, it turns out that a boomerang effect is partially triggered: the interests of the Europeans themselves suffer. So far, we have been able to find ways to minimise the negative consequences of sanctions,” he said.

EU diplomatic sources said last week the proposal under discussion was to ban direct diamond imports from Russia from 1 January and from March to implement a traceability mechanism that would prevent imports of Russian gems processed in third countries.

The Kremlin said on Monday that president Vladimir Putin will set out Russia’s view of what it sees as the “deeply unstable world situation” when he addresses an upcoming virtual G20 summit.

Russian state TV presenter Pavel Zarubin said on his Telegram channel on Sunday that it would be the “first event in a long time” including both Putin and western leaders.

According to the state RIA news agency, the G20 virtual summit will be held on Wednesday.

The Kremlin said on Monday it regretted Finland’s decision to shut crossings on its border with Russia , saying it reflected Helsinki’s adoption of an anti-Russian stance, Reuters reports.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov , speaking at a regular news briefing, also rejected Finland’s accusation that Russia is deliberately pushing illegal migrants towards the border and said that Russian border guards were following all instructions.

Finland, a member of the European Union and – from this year – also of the Nato military alliance, closed four crossings on its border with Russia on Saturday as Helsinki seeks to halt a flow of asylum seekers it says was instigated by Moscow.

The US secretary of defence, Lloyd Austin, arrives in Kyiv on Monday morning.

Two killed by Russian shelling in Kherson, Ukrainian authorities say

Reuters reports that two people were killed early on Monday after Russian forces shelled a parking lot in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, authorities said.

Regional prosecutors opened a war crimes investigation into the artillery strike, which occurred at about 9am (7am GMT) and injured one other person, the regional prosecutor’s office reported.

The Kherson governor, Oleksandr Prokudin, said the two dead were drivers for a private transport business.

Images posted on Telegram showed firefighters dousing cars that had been blasted apart, one day after a separate strike on the city wounded five people, including a three-year-old girl.

Russian forces have regularly shelled Kherson from across the Dnipro River since the regional capital was reoccupied by Ukrainian troops last November.

Ukraine said last week it had secured a foothold on the eastern bank of the Dnipro and that its troops were trying to push Russian forces further back.

US defence secretary visits Kyiv

The US secretary of defence, Lloyd Austin, arrived in Kyiv on Monday for a visit, he said on the X social media platform, Reuters reports.

“I’m here today to deliver an important message: the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine in their fight for freedom against Russia’s aggression, both now and into the future.”

The visit comes amid increasing division over Ukraine aid in the US legislature. A joint Ukraine-US military industry conference in Washington is due to take place next month.

That event, due to be held on 6-7 December, is intended to boost Ukraine’s domestic arms production as its fight against a full-scale Russian invasion nears the two-year mark.

Reuters reports that a Japanese delegation led by senior industry and foreign ministry officials and including business representatives is visiting Ukraine on Monday for talks ahead of a reconstruction conference that Japan will host, the industry ministry said.

Japan, which has been supporting Ukraine with funds and by accepting refugees since Russia invaded in February 2022, has also been promoting support for Ukraine at the level of the G7, which Japan chairs this year.

Kazuchika Iwata , the state minister of economy, trade and industry (METI), and the state minister for foreign affairs Kiyoto Tsuji , are visiting together with representatives of Japan companies, METI said in a statement.

In Kyiv, the delegation, which includes members of Keidanren, Japan’s biggest business lobby, in charge of a committee on Ukraine’s reconstruction, plans talks with the prime minister, Denys Shmyhal , government officials and companies.

Shmyhal said this month Ukraine would need budget support of about $42bn this year and next year to plug a massive deficit and aid reconstruction from the devastation caused by Russia’s invasion.

METI said the visit was an opportunity to hear about Ukraine’s needs and to discuss specific projects and accelerate public and private efforts to help.

The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy – who visited Japan in May during a G7 summit – and the Japanese prime minister, Fumio Kishida, agreed this month to hold a Japan-Ukraine Conference for promotion of Economic Reconstruction in Tokyo on 19 February.

Opening summary

Hello and welcome to the Guardian’s live coverage of the war in Ukraine .

A Ukrainian soldier and a woman have died after a grenade exploded in a Kyiv apartment, police in the Ukrainian capital have said, but the cause of the blast, which injured a second man, was not immediately clear.

Explosives technicians and investigators were working at the scene of Sunday’s explosion in the Dniprovskiy district, Kyiv police said in a statement.

“A citizen contacted the police with a report that an explosion rang out in a neighbouring apartment,” they added.

The news came as Volodymyr Zelenskiy dismissed the commander of the military’s medical forces , Maj Gen Tetiana Ostashchenko, and said “new priorities had been set” in the operations of Ukraine’s military after a meeting with the defence minister, Rustem Umerov.

“There is little time left to wait for results. Quick action is needed for forthcoming changes,” the Ukrainian president said in his evening video address.

In other key developments:
