Steve Jones says he’d consider Sex Pistols reunion if he was “absolutely broke”

With all the renewed interest in the Sex Pistols – thanks to that new Disney+ series ‘Pistol’ and the Queen’s platinum jubilee – talk has understandably returned to whether or not the band will ever perform together again.

Not likely, you’d probably quite correctly say, but what if they did it Abba-style and didn’t actually have to get in the same room together?Asked on Rolling Stone’s Music New podcast about the possibility of another Sex Pistols reunion – the last having been in 2008 – guitarist Steve Jones references Abba’s new ‘Abba Voyage’ show in London, which sees the band members represented by digital avatars.“Seeing that Abba can do it without being there, I’d be down for doing that thing – they’re there but they’re not really there”, he says.

I’m down for that, all day long”.As for actual shows where they did all get on stage together, he says: “You never know. [We’re all alive] and we all have our hair too.

I don’t know, if I was absolutely broke I’d probably consider it”.Having said that, he added that he hasn’t actually spoken to Lydon since they fell out on that 2008 tour – and last year’s very public legal battle over whether or not ‘Pistol’ should be allowed to use the band’s music did little to improve intra-band relations.And despite never saying never, Jones confirms that, as it currently stands, “no money is worth it” to reunite with Lydon and perform Sex Pistols songs again.
