Sex Pistols to reunite to mark 30th anniversary of iconic album

The Sex Pistols have followed in the footsteps of Led Zeppelin and will reform for a one-off gig.

The performance will mark the 30th anniversary of their album Never Mind The B******s.

Announcing their comeback, frontman John Lydon - also known as Johnny Rotten - said: "Maybe it's because we're all Londoners, but there would be no Sex Pistols without dear old London town."

The group split in 1978 but reformed in 1996 and last performed together in 2003.
