THE Sex Pistols front man’s sight was impaired by childhood meningitis and it’s now worsening in his sixties.
PUNK legend John Lydon is losing his sight and fears he will go completely blind.
The Sex Pistols star, 60, now wears glasses on stage “so I don’t fall off the edge”.
His sight was affected by a bout of meningitis in childhood.
“I can’t read anything. Even newspaper headlines are blurry.
“If I lose my eyesight , I lose my life. I’d rather give up my ears than my eyes, which might sound unusual for a musician.
“If I couldn’t see the world around me that would be a terrific loss.
“If I lost my vision completely, that would be something I’d have to analyse in my mind.
“It’s gloomy but I can enjoy depression.”
