Inside the yak costume The Masked Singer there was John Lydon of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd. The revelation came in the third episode of the television singing competition which is broadcast on ITV in the United Kingdom and has reached its seventh edition.
As reality TV is known in Italy The Masked Singerinvolves singers and entertainers in general performing singing challenges hidden inside ridiculous costumes. Their identity is revealed only when they are eliminated.
That's what happened last Saturday with Lydon. «John has taken the weight of the yak off his shoulders and is now ready to record the new PiL album! Thank you ITV and Masked Singer! Let's get physical”, we read on the group's profile, quoting Olivia-Newton John's piece which he then performed without a mask.
Lydon said he wanted to “show the other side of me: a funstar. I am a court jester.”
In the previous episode he had sung Sex Bomb by Tom Jones, in the one in which he was also eliminated That's Amore. Lydon appeared in 2021 on the American version of the talent show. In 2004 he took part in the reality show I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.
This year Public Image Ltd will return to perform in Italy, on May 26th at Alcatraz in Milan. At this link the review of the 2023 Milan concert.
