Johnny Rotten opens up about wife Nora Forster’s battle with Alzheimer’s
Johnny had talked about Nora Forster’s fight with Alzheimer’s earlier this year. He said, “Weโve been together some 45 years, weโre relentless. This is the beginning of a new journey with us. As bad as her Alzheimerโs is there are great moments of tenderness between us, and I try and capture that in the song. Itโs not all waiting for the Grim Reaper. I can see her personality in her eyes. She lets me know itโs the communication skills that are letting her down, Iโm just blessed I can be there and catch on to that.”
RIP Nora Forster. My favorite punk fact that surprisingly many people donโt know is that John Lydonโs wife, who he has been with her nearly his entire life, is the mom of Ari Up from the Slits, and he is Ari Upโs stepdad. He and Nora adopted Ariโs kids/their grandchildren pic.twitter.com/3t8wAGymfX
