Former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon has failed to land the spot in representing Ireland with his band in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest
Former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon has failed to land the spot in representing Ireland with his band Public Image Ltd in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Performing their entry, “Hawaii” at a special Eurovision selection edition of Irish TV show “The Late Late Show” on Friday alongside five other contestants, the post-punk group lost to Wild Youth’s “We Are One.” The selection was made by a combination of public telephone votes, and votes from a national and international jury.
“It is dedicated to everyone going through tough times on the journey of life, with the person they care for the most,” Lydon said in the release. “It’s also a message of hope that ultimately love conquers all.” But the song failed to meet the standards of Eurovision for some on the expert judging panel, PA Media reported.
