"Let's just say that if Malcolm breathes, it's too much for me to stomach" - John Lydon

"...alcohol would be sold in libraries, cannabis would be decriminalised and legalised brothels set up opposite the Houses of Parliament to get rid of sleaze scandals. Museum and gallery charges will be scrapped so people can drift through public buildings as an alternative route through town" - Malcolm McLaren, London Mayoral manifesto

RIP

He died of malignant mesothelioma which is a rare form of cancer - as someone who is undergoing the same treatment plan I know the highs and lows and its impossible to ever get a Consultant to give a straight answer and while prostate cancer is not as serious its a long old slog and takes up a huge amount of time which sadly some people just cant cope with and they skip treatment taking a gamble it will not get worse.

I have worked at events where he was hanging about in the guest area and he did look a very interesting character and I was about when the Sex Pistols could be seen hanging about the Kings Road and Camden area.

He was a lot smarter than he looked and really without him I doubt we would have heard anything about the Sex Pistols.

He will be sadly missed .

sad news indeed.

met him once in Great Gear Market on Kings Road...i said 'alright Malc' and he said 'ello lads' back. not exactly a conversation, but enough to make me feel to this day that i met someone who changed the face of British music, and to many extents culture, forever.

gone far too early
