Public Image Ltd. have announced their first new album in eight years: End of World will arrive on August 11th.
The album is dedicated to frontman John Lydon’s late wife, Nora Forster, who passed away on April 5th at the age of 80. Among its 13 tracks is “Hawaii,” which Lydon wrote as a “love letter” to Forster and later performed it in a bid to represent Ireland in Eurovision.
To coincide with today’s announcement, PiL have released another teaser track, “Penge,” which Lydon describes as “something of a mediaeval Viking epic.”
PiL have also announced an extensive UK/European tour that’s set to kick off in September. Tickets are available here.
