John Lydon show at Glasgow's Pavilion Theatre cancelled over claims of tour manager 'aggression'

A Glasgow venue has cancelled a planned show with John Lydon tonight due to "aggression and intimidation" shown to staff.

The Pavilion Theatre announced that the event would not go ahead due to abusive behaviour by Lydon's tour manager.

The former Sex Pistols frontman, 65, was due to take part in a Q&A with fans this evening, promoting his new book I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right.

A statement from the theatre claimed the tour manager behaved abusively, saying "the days of this kind of behaviour is long gone" and confirmed ticket holders would be contacted to arrange refunds.

The announcement from the general manager Iain Gordon read: "Unfortunately, due to the aggression and intimidation made to various members of my staff by John Lydon's tour manager, tonight’s show will not go ahead.
