Glen Matlock
Glen Matlock is the legendary former bass player and songwriter in the Sex Pistols. He is credited with co-writing ten of the twelve tracks on their sole studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks. He left the band in 1977 and formed the Rich Kids with Midge Ure, enjoying chart success with their 1978 ‘Rich Kids’ single.
Matlock has been involved in all three subsequent Sex Pistols reunions tours, the last of which took place in 2007 before relations with singer John Lydon once again broke down.
In 2023, Matlock will release his sixth solo album, Consequences Coming, and joins Blondie on their forthcoming album and tour.
