Lydon brands Sting 'old dead carcass'

Sex Pistols star John Lydon has branded Police frontman Sting a "soggy old dead carcass".

The punk legend, also known as Johnny Rotten, dismissed Sting as "Stink" while talking about the recent comeback of The Police.

"That really is a reformation isn't it? But honestly that's like soggy old dead carcasses," he said.

"You know listening to Stink try to squeak through 'Roxanne' one more time that's not fun. It's like letting air out of a balloon," Lydon said.
