It’s expected to run for five years.Speaking on Rolling Stone’s Music Now podcast, Jones was asked about the idea of a Pistols reunion in the future, with the band having last played together in 2008.“Seeing that Abba can do it without being there, I’d be down,” Jones said in response.Listen to the podcast below.Last weekend (June 4), Sex Pistols‘ ‘God Save The Queen’ was the biggest-selling single in the UK.
