Last updated 25th Oct 2021
The Pavillion Theatre has cancelled tonight's performance from John Lyndon, also known as Johnny Rotten, after allegations of aggressive behaviour from his tour manager towards venue staff.
Management confirmed the decision via a Facebook post, claiming the former Sex Pistols frontman's aide was intimidating to the Pavillion's team.
In the post, general manager Iain Gordon said: "Unfortunately, due to the aggression and intimidation made to various members of my staff by John Lydon's tour manager, tonight’s show will not go ahead.
"The days of this kind of behaviour is long gone. We have a zero tolerance policy of abuse, both physical and verbal, and this behaviour has been ongoing for the past two weeks.
"We are sorry if this affects you but as a company we will not accept this kind of attitude to our staff from anyone, including members of the public and touring staff."
The venue confirmed ticket holders would be contacted by Box Office to arrange refunds.
