Say what you want about John but he’s a man of honour, loyalty and understood the real meaning of marriage. One of the hardest things in life is to watch the slow decline of a loved one. Perceptive, self deprecating and the biggest heart in rock n roll, John Lydon-I salute you.
What a wonderful man, and what a fantastic homage to Nora. Dementia is a horrific illness, and it sounds like he bore it bravely. We love you, John xxx
People have said all sorts of things about John Lydon over the years but he really is a lovely, caring and intelligent human. I have so much respect for him.
I've probably said a lot of them myself but he's really shown himself to be a stand up guy these last few years. Glad he's keeping busy with PIL, the new stuff I've heard is amazing.
He’s not just materialised as a nice, honest bloke. He’s always been that way despite what the media have said about him. He might have been abrasive and standoffish as a teenager and young man, but I know I was just as curt, abrupt and worse than that, very violent and aggressive. It’s a hormonal thing apparently.
I met him in the early 90s when he was doing a meet-n-greet appearance before a PIL show. He was in character. Nothing excessive, but he was definitely putting on a show. Right in front of me was a couple with a young girl, maybe 5 or 6 years old. As soon as he saw her he stepped out of character and was the sweetest man in the world to this young fan. It was nice getting that first hand glimpse.
Being the age I am , 63 , John has been a feature of my life for a long time . A true maverick , truth speaker and a very smart guy . Got a lot of respect for him . And remember , he spoke out about Saville years ago
with no evidence and nothing whatsoever to back it up. Meanwhile pans people, legs and co, ruby flipper and zoo who worked with saville day in day out, week in week out for decades to this day have nothing substantial to say about him.
John seems to me to be a uniquely British anarchist - loyal, loving, truthful, respectful to those who deserve it, ... all whist being able to challenge, disrupt, agitate and vitally knowing what message to put into what space. He really is so unique. A deeply considered man.
John is an absolute hero. I never got his music but my goodness, I get the man. He cared for the love of his life and he was/is so brave. I lost my life partner, not to this dreadful disease but over a long period of time. It is heartbreaking but out of sheer respect, I cared right up to the end. You never get over it but time allows you to cope. The very best to John.❤
In my younger days I worked as a carer in a dementia unit and I found it really hard to watch the decline in patients and I had to quit my job as it was too upsetting for me so I have the greatest of respect for John as it's not easy at all.
I had to put my mom in a dementia unit for the last four months of her life. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of everyone who is or was a care giver in those units - I don't know how much you all make/made, but it's not enough.
What a guy john is,hes so articulate,clever and very funny and tells it like it is, absolutely no bullshit whatsoever.A true hero amd an inspiration for the way he looked after his wife through her terrible illness.I could listen to him all day,such a fascinating character and i wish him well with his music and hope he smashes it on stage.
If you are reading this John, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I lost my wife in January all of a sudden, not to Alzheimer’s but i took it on board on how you are coping with life after you lose your soulmate. It still sticks in my mind your bbc interview haha but we wont go there but you knew my friend. Respect
My wife was diagnosed with dementia in March and I am trying to deal with things as best I can. There are many tough times and I know I have a huge amount to learn. I have always known that John Lydon is a hyper-intelligent man with an astonishing wisdom and clarity of thought and now, having heard his advice regarding care for dementia sufferers, whenever I'm unsure how to cope I'll just think, "What would John Lydon do?" and I'll be ok. Thank you, John.
You have my admiration, it is the hardest journey. Best wishes to you and your beloved wife. Don't forget who she "REALLY " is beneath her illness, and don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for help if you need it. A big hug to you both.
@drj8498 You need to first determine the CAUSE of the dementia in order to reverse it. You cannot rely on allopathic medicine or pharma to help you at all. Just about all illness can be cured once you understand the 2 causes, which are nutritional imbalance and toxicity. You need to start with getting rid of toxins via juice fasts and sweating, then totally changing the diet to living foods from the garden instead of dead - lots of fruits, dark leafy greens, raw vegetables, home-cooked lentils, peas and beans, lots of clean water. Then starting an exercise routine and most important, staying FAR, FAR away from pharma's toxic drugs & shots. All drugs and alcohol must be weaned off of. Even things like denture cream in the elderly are a cause, they're full of chemicals that seep right into the bloodstream and create mental confusion! There's other contributors to illness like emotional, psychological and spiritual elements, but once you free the mind and body from toxins and flood it with clean, pure nutrition from living foods, you can address that.
So sorry to hear your troubles. I wish you and your wife nothing but the best and it is inspiring to read about a real love like yours. Take care and I wish you both many more days of that wonderful love you share. ☀️☀️☀️ from Dublin
"She knew I loved her and that's all that really mattered".....the essence of being happy in one sentence. Sharing life experiences with the people we love and who love us. Sad that sometimes in all life's hectic moments, we can lose sight of all that and plow on looking for happiness.
I'm looking after my mum who is stricken with Alzheimer's disease.I love John from the minute I heard Anarchy aged 14 and "Never Mind the Bollocks" is one of the greatest albums recorded. And I love PIL I went to see him a couple of year's ago. He's one of the most unique & ground-breaking musicians that we've ever produced in this country. He's a treasure plain and simple.
@vaseofflowers4619 Absolutely, every track just had this power. Iwas i kid really, early teens. And I'm in this record shop, it stunk of Joss Sticks & Prog music was playing & Prog LP covers & posters adorned the walls. Someone asked them if they'd play "Anarchy" & it was just the most unique record I'd ever heard. Lydon does that mad cackling laugh at the beginning. I was Wow!! There & then, it literally was the changing of the guard, music had changed.
John has shown for years that he’s one of the most intelligent, insightful people in the music industry. He’s also a truly soulful man. Too bad there aren’t more like him.
John is an amazing human being and Rock God. My heart goes out to him losing the love of his life. Looked after Nora until the end of her life. They were Rock and Roll's most solid couple. John is a hero and legend ❤️
yeah, and how much do you think that would have cost him ? he had a live-in care to look after her, nothing to do with being compassionate, purely financial.
@@cd3949of course I know who he is, it's not about him as u say affording it,it's about a man who loved his wife so much that he did not put her into care, That's my point 😁
Utmost respect to John Lyndon from his stance on life to the compassion and love he shows as a human being towards his late partner. May she rest in peace evermore.❤️
John has kind of become a national treasure. he has always kicked back from the establishment and has courted greatness and controversy in equal measure. i didn,t know that his wife had passed away but they were together for many decades. i love his positivity and i wish him well.
John lydon is a hero for how he was constantly there for his beloved wife right to the end. Condolences John and to the whole family and blessings to Nora at peace now🙏💕
RIP Nora , I hope John can stay strong , I understood totally when he said it was a relief when she passed , I had the same feeling when my mother passed , it's horrible to see someone who you love suffering , he still makes great music with PIL , just listened to the new album and it's great , keep strong John lots of people love an old rebel!
Same here. Mum had dementia for 5 years and it was indeed a relief when she passed away. Also agree that you mourn that person who is still alive as dementia robs you of that person and robs themselves of themselves. Bad enough it happening to a parent so it must be incredible heart-breaking when it's a spouse.
I understand exactly how he felt. My dear wife passed away after a grueling six year battle with cancer. She was incredibly brave and strong. I knew she wouldn’t be able to take any more chemo or experimental drugs. Death was her release from pain. Life is a lot less interesting without the love we had but she is my inspiration for living.
@@craigdorsey8624 I'm so sorry your beloved wife suffered with the dreaded cancer , it makes me wonder where's god when all this suffering is going on? I have a good friend with cancer , she's been having chemo for about a year , every time she has this it knocks her for six , I won't go on as you know exactly what I mean , you take care of yourself and I hope some good fortune comes your way .
@@craigdorsey8624 God bless you and your courage to support your beautiful wife right up until the end. You have my admiration and I really love your whole attitude and mindset. And big heart. xoxo. Take care.
John was in such rough shspe every time we saw him during Nora's illness. I didn't know if he would ever sober up and recover. Seeing him look happy and clear headed is lovely.
and what an honest take on the problems trying to drown his sorrows caused him; not the brandy but the microwave dinners that brandy caused the craving for!
I don't think John was/is really an "Anarchist" in the true sense of the word, and even he says he doesn't consider himself one, but I think you meant well with your superlatives, and adjectives. He's been my hero for about 47 years.
You could feel the love that John and Nora had for each other, if you listen to the song Hawaii that John wrote a while back, I guarantee you wont get to the end without tears in your eyes. I have been lucky enough to meet John a few times, he is special, a truly lovely guy.
Well done John for looking after Nora and coping with your grief. I lost my Dad end of March and he was first diagnosed with early Dementia and then terminal Cancer. Somebody at his funeral said I dealt with it well. I told him my Dad was 86 and he was released. We had lost my Dad but he never lived long enough for his personality to gradually disappear through Dementia. I don`t think he understood but I think it would have been much harder if he`d lived with Dementia long term.
I lost my Dad to renal cancer which is usually a silent killer. He was diagnosed only when it was metastatic. I honestly think as shit as his end was it was kinder than my Mums Alzeihmers. Some days I just think she’d be so much better off with a quick lights out. She’s still there personality wise but I just can’t cope with the disease. What it does to the people you love is brutal
@@MrSongwriter2 To love is to welcome the pain of the inevitable loss of our loved ones. To love takes courage, and you have had to discover it within yourself. You have courage and love in spades. I appreciate your struggle, and I hope you know that you are awesome.
John Lydon teaches us a Master Class in actions more than words on how to honor and love our partners until death truly do us part. Much respect, mate.
I cannot express how much I love respect John I’m going through something similar and while it’s hard the beautiful is in there somewhere Much love John
Not many qualify as Hero these days. He's the real deal. DECADES you've taught me inspiration, courage, laughter, freedom to cry, glorious socks, poetry, kindness, snide, thinking, dreaming, Hope and above all else, Love. My God. The Love! You never failed us. Thank you Mr. Lydon. You just don't know what you have meant to so many of us. Punk's not dead. We promise you that. Thank you.
My grandma suffered so much in her last year, that i couldn't understand how someone who done good all her life was suffering that much, she was like a Mary Poppins figure to me when i was growing up, so seeing her in that situation definetly messed up with my mind. I cried like a baby but definetly felt a certain relief when she passed.
Not just a music legend but believe it or not someone with very high integrity, he's not rude but will call out the power hungry manipulators, one of the best
What a wonderful man John Lyndon is. Such devotion to his beloved partner Nora. As a youngster I was mad at him after traveling to see the sex pistols and them not turning up. But I’ve always admired what they did for the punk scene in that era. Good luck on the new tour and rip Nora.
Mr Lydon. An honest, sincere, loyal and honourable man. My condolences John. Happy isn't the right word, but it's warming to hear you are coming to terms with Nora's passing and guard wonderful memories. Nothing but the best to you sir.
He wouldn't appreciate me saying it but John is a British Icon, he's been in my life since I was 13 and his attitude and punk's attitude in general has shaped my life and made me a confident individual who never takes things at face value. It's taken a while but finally the world is waking up to the wisdom of John Lydon.
We love you Johnny, if you ever decide to come back with another PIL album we'll all be here to gobble it up! So glad to see how well you're handling this whole situation. RIP Nora.
@@ajikpajik9331 ik I just heard rumors that he was considering retiring for good after this one, and i wouldn't blame him, he's been busting ass since the 70s.
@@jonnybarnard8578 At this point I'm just glad he is still with us regardless of what he does. Lydon has been a huge influence on my life, I know I'm not alone in that. 💖
In The Filth and the Fury the Sex Pistols are shown putting on a Christmas party for the children of striking firefighters back in 1977. It's heart warming to watch four young men vilified in the press making sure children had a good time. I don't always agree with Lydon- I think he says stuff to get a reaction, but his heart's in the right place.
Say what you want about John but he’s a man of honour, loyalty and understood the real meaning of marriage. One of the hardest things in life is to watch the slow decline of a loved one.

An amazing man who took care of the love of his life for those 5 long years. He really is a rebel angel! RIP Nora Long Live John! ❤
Such a positive guy
What a statement about this man.
I defy anyone that who can't respect this man. We love you John!
It was brilliant seeing John Lydon on GMB with Susanna and Ed . Keep Rocking John .
Who cares about John? Susanna is looking fit AS!
They call it "grief and relief". It very common for people left behind after someone dies of Alzheimers or dementia. John is a legend!
There's a lot more to it.. there's not enough time left to truly understand and before you know it Yous Will be holding hands again and find peace
My grandma suffered so much in her last year, that i couldn't understand how someone who done good all her life was suffering that much, she was like a Mary Poppins figure to me when i was growing up, so seeing her in that situation definetly messed up with my mind. I cried like a baby but definetly felt a certain relief when she passed.
Lovely interview! Fabulous photos of John with Nora. I liked it when chatting about the new album he said ITS RELEVANT!
Dear John, I Hate to see You sad I´ll Respect Your tears and Love to see You Happy.... Thank You and may all good things come Your way.
Not just a music legend but believe it or not someone with very high integrity, he's not rude but will call out the power hungry manipulators, one of the best
So good to see John looking so well. His love for his wife is truly beautiful, he's an absolute legend!
What a wonderful man John Lyndon is. Such devotion to his beloved partner Nora. As a youngster I was mad at him after traveling to see the sex pistols and them not turning up. But I’ve always admired what they did for the punk scene in that era. Good luck on the new tour and rip Nora.
Great man, devoted husband, real icon.
I didn’t know Nora has passed. RIP precious. Love to John 🤗🏴
Mr Lydon. An honest, sincere, loyal and honourable man. My condolences John. Happy isn't the right word, but it's warming to hear you are coming to terms with Nora's passing and guard wonderful memories. Nothing but the best to you sir.
One of the most underrated singers. So versatile and powerful.
I couldn't agree more. His voice is raw, powerful and unique.
One of our very own iconic hero’s 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Ireland loves ye John and always will………your a good man and a legend. 👍✌️
So sorry John. Thankyou for igniting my youth all those decades ago mate. No one is innocent brother...much love..x
That ladies and gentlemen is a true man. RIP Nora.
That ladies and gentlemen is the perfect comment succinct says it all
This is beautiful and incredibly sad. A truly honest man and I appreciate that. Plus he’s well spoken so that helps
A beautiful love story. And John does radiate love and honesty. I admire him.
Love John...he's always been incredibly honest 👍
He wouldn't appreciate me saying it but John is a British Icon, he's been in my life since I was 13 and his attitude and punk's attitude in general has shaped my life and made me a confident individual who never takes things at face value. It's taken a while but finally the world is waking up to the wisdom of John Lydon.
True love never dies.
John is a legend and the world would be more boring without him
I Love John Lydon. He's a very insightful and dynamic soul. ✌️
A true gentleman. Utter respect for him. What a love story. A beautiful couple.
All respect sir . Thanks for the music
What an amazing man he is.
Loved his music and love everything about him now. A character in the extreme.
What he did is so wonderfull brave and soulfull. Respect.....thank you Johnny.....
We love you Johnny, if you ever decide to come back with another PIL album we'll all be here to gobble it up! So glad to see how well you're handling this whole situation. RIP Nora.
They have a new album out right now, tracks are on the PIL channel.
@@ajikpajik9331 ik I just heard rumors that he was considering retiring for good after this one, and i wouldn't blame him, he's been busting ass since the 70s.
@@jonnybarnard8578 He is doing a tour next year also. It's a spoken word type of a thing I'm glad he decided not to retire.
@ajikpajik9331 well he could still be retiring from PIL but I hope not. I know touring is a huge pain in the ass too, spoken word or punk rock lol
@@jonnybarnard8578 At this point I'm just glad he is still with us regardless of what he does. Lydon has been a huge influence on my life, I know I'm not alone in that. 💖
So good to see John healthy and trim again! Well done , Brother! So sorry for your loss, thank you for continuing to be you.
Respect. Thats pure love..
Who would ever thought years ago that John Lydon is actually a really decent kind caring human being. I admire him for his honesty and modesty too.
He tried to tell us years ago about saville. They banned him and try to silence him. He was a legend all the time
His punk persona belied what a decent bloke he is and never judge a book by its cover comes to mind
In The Filth and the Fury the Sex Pistols are shown putting on a Christmas party for the children of striking firefighters back in 1977. It's heart warming to watch four young men vilified in the press making sure children had a good time. I don't always agree with Lydon- I think he says stuff to get a reaction, but his heart's in the right place.
@@geoffpoole483 That's beautiful! I've not heard of this film, I am going to go seek it out right now.
Love that man. Never leaves you without a giggle or something to think about. He is just on and timeless. Thanks. Love from Germany and Jamaica.
What a great human being he is.
I think he has a good kind heart underneath
