The Sex Pistols<\/a> (and Frank Carter) have been forced to cancel their upcoming tours of both North and South America on account of guitarist Steve Jones<\/a> breaking his wrist.<\/p>\n “I’ve got some good news and bad news,” he said in a statement posted to social media<\/a>. “What do you want first? Okay, the bad news: I’ve broken my wrist, so unfortunately we won’t be doing any shows for a while. The good news is the surgeon said I will be back playing guitar in the not-too-distant future. The other good news is I’ll be 70 tomorrow! God bless, and God save the wrist.”<\/p>\n The North American portion of the tour<\/a> was due to begin on Sept. 16 in Dallas, with a lineup featuring original band members\u00a0Jones,\u00a0Paul Cook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Glen Matlock<\/a>,\u00a0plus singer Frank Carter.<\/p>\n Carter has been singing with the Pistols since last year, something original Pistols singer Johnny Rotten<\/a> has made known he disapproves of<\/a>, describing it as “karaoke.”<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0<\/b>How a Wild Drinking Spree With Sex Pistols Sparked ‘Who Are You’<\/a><\/p>\n “When I first heard that the Sex Pistols were touring this year without me it pissed me off,\u201d he said in an interview earlier this year. \u201cIt annoyed me. I just thought, \u2018They\u2019re absolutely going to kill all that was good with the Pistols by eliminating the point and the purpose of it all.'”<\/p>\n They helped push rock into fun and interesting places \u2013 and they’re still out there doing it in the summer of 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Nick DeRiso<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\u00a0Where Is Johnny Rotten?<\/h3>\n
