Public Image Ltd Readying New Live and Studio Albums

Lydon said in a press release that touring with Public Image Ltd has been a healing balm following the deaths of his wife Nora Forster and manager and lifelong friend John «Rambo» Stevens, both in 2023.

«After losing Nora, and Rambo, I couldn’t see a way through,» he said. «The thing is, people were so overwhelmingly positive, they really showed me a lot of love, and they asked me to tour PiL again. With so many people asking and with the band meaning so much to them, I couldn’t just stay on my sofa and not tour – tempting though that obviously is.»

Public Image Ltd will also release a live album titled Alive, recorded during their 2025 tour, in the spring. Details are forthcoming; but Alive is available to preorder now. The band is currently in the studio working on an album of new material for release in early 2027.
