Rocker JOHN LYDON only agreed to reunite the SEX PISTOLS for comeback tours in 1996 and 2007 to make money.

The God Save The Queen singer admits he had no artistic reasons to reform the iconic punk band, just financial ones.

He says, "I think that the word reunion… it just implies, ‘Oh, they’re back for the money.’ Yeah, well, hello! Of course we’re back for the money. And what is the shame in that? "We weren’t paid the first time out. We intend to be this time."
