A Scots venue has cancelled a John Lydon gig after staff allegedly faced 'intimidation' from a member of his management.
The Sex Pistols frontman, 65, was due to take part in a Q&A with fans at Glasgow's Pavilion Theatre on Monday night.
But the event - which was promoting his new book I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right - was cancelled just hours before Lydon was due to appear on stage.
Theatre bosses have now issued a statement on social media, explaining the decision came amid allegations of 'aggression and intimidation' towards workers by his tour manager.
The theatre claimed abusive behaviour had been ongoing for two weeks leading to the decision to cancel the performance.
They assured disappointed fans that they will be given full refunds on the cost of their tickets.
In a statement, the theatre's general manager Iain Gordon said: "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.
"The days of this kind of behaviour are long gone."
He added: "We are sorry if this affects you but as a company we will not accept this kind of attitude to our staff from anyone, including members of the public and touring staff.
"Our box office will be in contact with you directly to organise refund of your tickets."
Lydon's official Twitter page posted: "Glasgow Pavilion has unexpectedly cancelled tonight's show. We were informed of the cancellation at 2.48pm."
A source close to Lydon said: "To be honest only the promoter and the manager know the story. John wasn't there and neither was his manager. We don't have our promoter's side of the story yet."
Social media have backed the theatre's decision online.
One said: "Quite right. Everyone is entitled to a safe working environment. Good for you.
While another added: "Well done the Pavilion."
Lydon, better known by his stage name Johnny Rotten, is widely recognised as the lead singer of the late-1970s punk band, the Sex Pistols.
After the band disbanded he performed with post-rock group Public Image Ltd.
John Lydon's team has been contacted for comment.
