Signed limited edition copies of his book, written especially for the tour, will be available at venues - with only 5,000 numbered copies printed.

An icon of British culture as the frontman and lyricist of the Sex Pistols, Johnny Rotten changed the face of music and sparked a cultural revolution.

Then during his years in Public Image Ltd he consistently pushed back the boundaries and still continues to challenge and thrive.

As a writer, Lydon wrote two best-selling volumes of memoir: the excoriating Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs and the entertaining and uncompromising Anger Is An Energy: My Life Uncensored.

The Buttermarket date will be part of his first spoken word tour, where fans will get to hear his stories up close and personal.

Lydon will appear at the Shrewsbury venue on November 4 next year, with tickets available online.
