I am not a svelte person myself and I know the effect middle age can have on the body, but this change is rather alarming in a pretty short time.
(apologies for Mail link)
John Lydon has changed a lot

He got his teeth fixed recently.
Obviously re-discovered the joys of Pie
Seeeeeee iiiiiit iiiiin your piiiiiiieees
Saw PiL at Bingley Festival (they were brilliant) and someone down the front said to us “is that really John Lyndon? He didn’t look like that last time”.
But I’m not going to criticise . Instead I’m going to eat a pie
Fatty vacant. And I don’t care……
And to think some people reckon the mail online is full of vacuous shite.
As it’s the Mail, I expect the article is a hatchet job, in which case they will have chosen the most unflattering recent pic they could get.
Don’t really care if he’s gone a bit porky, TBH. Nothing to see, as far as I’m concerned.
Oh, I don’t know. He actually does look like Mr Angry now.
Blimey, he’s dropped a bit of weight since last years Bearded Theory…..
Just saying’.
“Man Gets Old and Fat Shock” Good for him must be all that butter….
May the cholesterol rise with you
He always was rather unappealing.
PS. 62 is now middle age?
The Nile!
I am reliably informed by a 62 year old friend that she is still a young flapper.
Do you have her phone number?
Women remain young as long as they want to, men have old age thrust upon them*
(* as do some women, but that’s another story)
Well speaking as a 56 yr old, I don’t consider 62 to be “old”. Possibly late middle age. Or maybe “old” is just 10 years older than the age I currently am at. So over 65 it is (right now).
Big long African river….
You’ve lost me
*waits*

Another glorious Afterword first. A thread that’s a cross between a copy of Heat magazine and an episode of “Loose Woman”. hosted by a panel of tranvestites. Well done you bunch of pillocks.
I believe the original premise of the Afterword was to reflect content that could have appeared in The Word magazine. Would these pictures have appeared there in the foreword section? I think there is a strong possibility they would have.
“Loose Woman” sounds good, what is it?
It’s the celeb version of Jeremy Kyle with Janet Street-Porter dressed as a High Court judge. What’s not to like?

This is Loose Women, the ITV gabfest, the popularity of which can never be explained.
I was asking about Loose Woman, which sounds like a tale about an adventuresome lass out for fun and larks. After the watershed.
*Ponders. Considers Googling. Thinks again*
Loose Woman – TV’s Katie Hopkins (58) is let loose with the “Crazy for You!” hitmakers, Let Loose! The band is due to hit the road in only six weeks and Katie needs to learn all the band’s hits and play the maracas on stage, with Let Loose!
“Bring it on!” says Katie “I’m not afraid of a bit of hard work, unlike all those immigrants”
Sacre Bleu! I think, peut-être, I may be becoming a Francophile..
He looks very different with his hair brushed properly, as opposed to the sticky-uppy mess he usually favours.
Fucksake. Someone looks less attractive because they’ve had the temerity to get old? You don’t say.
I hope it’s not a sign of something serious…
My immediate thought too.
I think this is nearer the truth. I did read somewhere that he acknowledged he suffers from a debilitating illness which manifested itself elsewhere in his family.
This is my worry too. My original post was meant to show concern at this sudden change in his body shape. If he had lost 100 lbs, that would be a concern too.
I thought maybe steroids last year but, as I said earlier, he is down a few stone from last years bulk so either the treatment is working or he is on a diet.
I like the look. Already seen quite a lot of blokes walking around looking pretty similar.
I think John Lydon should be the next Bond.
License to gob
License to be deliberately contradictory for the fun of it
Licence to do whatever the bloody hell I like (including Butter adverts) because I am Lydon, John Lydon
“You disappoint me , Mister Bond”
“Well, that’s just your tough shit”
Let Loose Management Inc have announced that the forthcoming “Loose Woman” TV show with Katie Hopkins has been cancelled. “Katie had a different perspective on the project to us – and she showed no interest at all in singing “Those Were The Days”.
Let Loose lead singer Darren Darren added – “we wish Katie well, but she needs to understand that when you only have one hit single – you need to milk that teat bone dry. Luckily, we have several hits to fall back on.”
Bowdlerised. Didn’t he say “we have several teats to fall back on”? I know ageing boy-bands shouldn’t have their use of mixed-metaphors held against them, but if we continue down this road to perdition we’ll be going to hell in a handcart and back.
Since my return to the site my absolute highlight is your avatar which means I read all your comments in a Les Dawson voice. This one is my favourite…..
Thanks, me old cud-chewer. Les Dawson sounds like Brian Sewell compared to me.
Ah yes, the wondrous Brian Sewell whose withering dismissal of Tracey Emin was a priceless work of art in itself: “this self-regarding exhibitionist is ignorant, inarticulate, talentless, loutish and now very rich.”
Darren was talking about Katie Hopkins – who he (still) thinks is Mary Hopkin. Let Loose of course enjoyed a string of hits at the height of Britpop – six, count ’em, six – top thirty singles.
All of which you know, of course.
Even Darren knows you can’t “fall back on” a teat, or multiple teats. I think his comment stands.
The comments from DM readers are surprisingly supportive.
You read DM readers comments? Brave man.
Only in this case.
I was looking for a photo of Steve Wright yesterday (we just hired someone who is the spitting image of an 80s SW). Now I look at JR and all I can say is – is that really them? Fuck me, I thought I’d got fat, but that takes the biscuit. Probably the whole packet.
Kind of weird seeing someone like Johnny subject to the treatment normally meted out to yer everyday celebs. That’s the price for being in the Jungle I guess (The tabloids wouldn’t have touched him since the Bill Grundy days otherwise). I’m sure Johnny can take it but no wonder celebs end up with eating disorders etc.

I quite like the fact that the Holidays in the Sun hitmaker has an Arsenal F.C. suitcase, which he’s pulling along.
By the same token, I feel that Tony Adams would look pretty good with some bold yellow and pink “Never Mind the Bollocks” luggage.
I’m currently reading his autobiography Anger Is An Energy. Very entertaining. So, yeah. As you were, I guess.
I listened to Never mind the Bollocks on the way to work yesterday.
Remember him this way. Oh, and Public Image Ltd too.
He has a thyroid problem apparently. I knew this weight gain couldn’t (only) be from self indulgence.
