John Lydon has announced the passing of his wife, Nora Forster.
Forster, Lydon’s wife of 44 years, had been living with Alzheimer’s since 2018. In recent years, Lydon largely retired from music in order to care for his wife.
Earlier this year, Lydon and his band Public Image Ltd. competed to represent Ireland in Eurovision by performing a song called “Hawaii,” which Lydon wrote as a “love letter” to Nora. Lydon dedicated the song to “everyone going through tough times on the journey of life, with the person they care for the most. It’s also a message of hope that ultimately love conquers all.”
Lydon further addressed his wife’s illness in a February 2023 interview with London’s Sunday Times, saying: “All the things I thought were the ultimate agony seem preposterous now… It’s shaped me into what I am. I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. I don’t see how I can live without her. I wouldn’t want to. There’s no point.”
Forster was the mother of Ari Up, the late vocalist of The Slits who died of breast cancer in 2010.
