PiL Announce New Album “End of World” and Extensive UK and European Tour

Public Image Ltd. (PiL) has unveiled their 11th studio album, End of World, set for release on August 11th. The announcement follows less than a week after the heartbreaking loss of John Lydon’s wife, Nora Forster. The 13-track record starts with the newly released single “Penge” and concludes with the poignant “Hawaii,” a song Lydon dedicated to his wife during her Alzheimer’s battle.

“Hawaii,” a touching ode to Nora, who tragically passed away from Alzheimer’s on April 5th, the introspective yet universally relatable love song resonated with many upon its January release. It sees John reminiscing on their cherished moments together, particularly their blissful time in Hawaii. John shared, “Nora loved the album; she wouldn’t have wanted us to postpone it or change any of our plans.” He previously remarked of “Hawaii,” “It is dedicated to everyone going through tough times on the journey of life, with the person they care for the most.”

The band began their work on creating End Of World in 2018 during their 40th-anniversary tour. Following “The Great Pause,” PiL reconvened in the studio, where, according to Lydon, “there was just this massive explosion of ideas.”  The announcement of the forthcoming album is heralded by the new single “Penge,” described by John as “something of a medieval Viking epic.”

In addition to the album, PiL is gearing up for an extensive 38-date tour across the U.K. and Europe, kicking off with back-to-back shows in Greece on September 8th. The tour will run through the U.K. in September before taking on European stages throughout October.

PiL mailing list subscribers can snag pre-sale tickets starting 10 a.m. local time on Wednesday, April 12th, while general on-sale begins at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 14th.

End of World marks PiL’s third album since their 2009 reunion, boasting a lineup that includes drummer Bruce Smith, guitarist Lu Edmonds, and bassist Scott Firth.
