Public Image Ltd. have shared End of World, their first album in eight years. Listen to John Lydon and company’s latest effort below via Apple Music and Spotify.
The band began work on End of World in 2018, but they really experienced a “massive explosion of ideas” after the pandemic. When they announced the record back in April, the news followed the recent passing of Lydon’s wife, Nora Forster. The album cut “Hawaii” was written for her.
The follow-up to the 2015 release What the World Needs Now…, End of World also features the singles “Penge” and “Car Chase.” Next month, Public Image Ltd. will embark on a tour of the UK and Europe, and tickets are on sale here.
Earlier this summer, Lydon became the latest artist to warn us that AI could soon pose a threat to society as we know it. “What or where is the moral code? It has infiltrated young people’s minds now to the point of total domination. What will this create?” he asked.
