John Lydon doesn’t go to restaurants<\/p>\n
The Public Image Ltd frontman lives in Los Angeles and admitted he prefers his friends to visit him for lunch rather than go out somewhere because eateries don’t allow cigarettes inside and the wildfires earlier this year has meant even more restrictions have been brought in.<\/p>\n
Discussing a typical lunchtime, he told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “If I\u2019m seeing friends they\u2019ll come here as I\u2019ve gone off the restaurants since all the smoking bans, and since the fires you can\u2019t even smoke outside now.”<\/p>\n
The 69-year-old rocker’s beloved wife Nora Forster died from Alzheimer’s in 2023 at the age of 80, and since her passing, John has “lost inerest” in cooking, though he’s slowly started to look after himself again.<\/p>\n
He said: “In the years leading up to Nora\u2019s death, I used to take great pleasure in considering her diet and preparing her breakfast, but since it\u2019s been just me, I\u2019ve lost interest in cooking. <\/p>\n
\n“I went through a stage of just eating a tin of ravioli first thing, but a bit of time has passed now so I\u2019m looking after myself better.”<\/p>\n
\nThe former Sex Pistols singer likes to wind down by listening to music, but sadly lost the majority of his record collection in a fire some time ago.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “I\u2019ll just play music at the end of the day, but not on Spotify, obviously. I love the physicality of a record although most of my collection got burnt in a fire in London. <\/p>\n
\n“Before she died Nora cancelled the insurance as she thought it was a waste of money, then six weeks later a spin dryer caught fire and burnt out the whole kitchen plus three quarters of my record collection.”<\/p>\n
\nWhile John is usually in bed by 9pm, he doesn’t necessarily go to sleep then as it is a good time for him to write new music.<\/p>\n
\nHe explained: “I don\u2019t stay up late or go to bars or nightclubs \u2013 what\u2019s the point? I go to bed early, though that doesn\u2019t mean I go to sleep early. <\/p>\n
\n“I like to rummage through my thoughts before I finally pass out, then my thoughts gradually waft into dreams, which is when I write my best songs.<\/p>\n
\n“I babble thoughts into a tape recorder, then in the morning I\u2019ll replay it and be amazed by what was going on in my head.”<\/p>\n
