Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones has spoken to NME about the band’s upcoming show at the Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust, as well as Donald Trump’s America, future plans, and a scrapped writing session with Arctic Monkeys‘ Alex Turner.The punk icons were announced today (Monday January 27) as part a week’s programming in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust, with the annual series returning to London with the likes of The Who, The Corrs and James Arthur.Jones, bassist Glen Matlock and drummer Paul Cook reformed to acclaim last year with former Gallows frontman Frank Carter stepping in on vocal duties in the absence of estranged singer John Lydon – aka Johnny Rotten.The announcement of the new show coincides with news of three upcoming ‘Live In The USA 1978’ albums, which document the band’s infamous US tour when manager Malcolm McLaren had the Pistols play relatively obscure venues to largely hostile audiences.Rotten left the group days after their notorious January 14 show at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, which would be the Pistols’ final gig until their first reformation in 1996.Check out our full interview below, where Jones also discussed the 2022 TV biopic Pistol, which was based on his memoir, Lonely Boy; Matlock’s criticism of the show, Donald Trump’s America; and Johnny Rotten’s vocal support of the President.NME: Hi Steve!

Eagles guitarist Steuart Smith has shared a health update with fans and announced that he will be leaving the group.The guitarist has been a part of the American rock group since 2001, and shared a statement confirming that a recent health diagnosis has left him unable to continue as part of the line-up.Shared with American Songwriter and Ultimate Classic Rock, the statement from Smith read: “It is with profound regret that, due to performance issues associated with my recently diagnosed Parkinsonism, I find that I must bow out of my role with the Eagles while I can still do so gracefully.”He continued: “It’s been a great quarter of a century, and I had hoped to be able to finish out this year with the band, but I must now do what’s best for all concerned.”According to the Parkinson’s Foundation, the term Parkinsonism is “used to describe a collection of movement symptoms associated with several conditions — including Parkinson’s disease”.The statement also included contributions from the band’s founding member Don Henley, who paid his respects to Smith and recalled the impact that he had on the group. “The Eagles will be forever grateful for the extraordinary talents that he brought to both our recordings and live performances,” he wrote.“Steuart will be greatly missed, but he will always be a part of our musical family.
