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, “We’ve been together some 45 years, we’re relentless. This is the beginning of a new journey with us. As bad as her Alzheimer’s is there are great moments of tenderness between us, and I try and capture that in the song. It’s not all waiting for the Grim Reaper. I can see her personality in her eyes. She lets me know it’s the communication skills that are letting her down, I’m just blessed I can be there and catch on to that.”
RIP Nora Forster. My favorite punk fact that surprisingly many people don’t know is that John Lydon’s wife, who he has been with her nearly his entire life, is the mom of Ari Up from the Slits, and he is Ari Up’s stepdad. He and Nora adopted Ari’s kids/their grandchildren pic.twitter.com/3t8wAGymfX
