The Irish-British punk rocker – best known by his stage name Johnny Rotten – was praised by host Ed Balls for his Eurovision bid song representing Ireland, which is dedicated to his wife, who has Alzheimer’s.
Sex Pistols star John Lydon was left tearful on Good Morning Britain on Monday morning as he opened up about caring for his wife Nora.
Taking a light-hearted tone, Lydon said: “When I was younger, my mother was sick and my father worked away a lot, so I had to change my brother’s nappies.Touching on his previously unheard song titled Hawaii, he said: “This is the beginning of a new journey. Oddly enough, as bad as Alzheimers is, there are great moments of tenderness between us.
He added: “I care now for all of its victims. Particularly spouses that have to endure this. What you’ve got to do is fight.”
