PISTOLS PELTED!

John Lydon reportedly brands one fan a "turd"...

SEX PISTOLS were pelted with beer at their first US show in six years.

The punk legends headlined a massive festival at the Devore Glen Helen Pavilion near LA on Saturday night (September 14). Also on the bill were bands including Blink 182 and fellow punk old-timers [a][/a].

According to Reuters, singer John Lydon branded one beer thrower a "turd" and a "wuss" after the group were covered in alcohol.

The show is the Sex Pistols first in North America since they played dates in 1996 as part of a reunion world tour. They also performed in London at the Crystal Palace Sports Centre in July, to mark the 25th anniversary of punk.
