According to a report from BBC 6 Music, John Lydon, the Sex Pistols’ singer, has told the BBC’s The One Show that Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke’s version of an alleged racist incident backstage at a festival in Spain is untrue.
Lydon caimed that the press took many liberties in the reporting of the story. Lydon also told The One Show:
“It’s absolutely atrocious, really really hurtful. My grandchildren are Jamaican and this is an absolute offense to them and me when they read stories like that.”
