ARCHIVE is a landmark photographic memoir from John Lydon, marking 50 years since the cultural explosion of the Sex Pistols and celebrating one of music’s most uncompromising and influential figures.
Drawing on John’s personal collection, this beautifully produced book brings together rare and previously unseen photographs spanning his extraordinary life and career. From his childhood in London and the emergence of the Sex Pistols to the creation of Public Image Ltd (PiL), ARCHIVE captures five decades of music, controversy, creativity and cultural change.
Alongside the photography, John offers candid commentary and personal reflections on the experiences and people who shaped his life, including heartfelt tributes to his late wife, Nora Forster, and his long-time friend and manager, John “Rambo” Stevens.
