John Lydon thinks Sid Vicious should never have joined the Sex Pistols because he couldn't cope with fame.
John Lydon regrets bringing former band member Sid Vicious into the Sex Pistols.
The group's former frontman believes the late musician could not cope with the pressure of being part of the 'Pretty Vacant' hitmakers and it destroyed his personality.
He said: "I'm sorry, God, for the day I brought Sid into the band. He felt so isolated, poor old Sid, because he wasn't the sharpest knife on the block.
"The best aspect of his character, which was his humour, just vanished the day he joined the Pistols."
John, who is currently reforming his other band Public Image Ltd, also said he was annoyed when bands don't credit his style as influencing them.
The 53-year-old punk legend added: "I'm still hearing records coming out that mimic our style, but they don't give us credit.
"I'm a bit annoyed, because I've never done anything in my life to be like somebody else. Oasis annoy me, you know? The voice annoys me. He could've come up with his own thing."
