The singer claims he was beaten and abused by The Sex Pistol and his entourage…

Kele Okerere- frontman with Bloc Party- has alleged that he was beaten and racially abused by Sex Pistols singer John Lydon.

According to a statement released by the band Kele suffered ‘severe facial bruising’ and ‘cuts to his face and body’ while backstage at the Summercase Festival in Barcelona.

The statement explained: “The Sex Pistols were socializing backstage with an array of British bands many of whom witnessed the attack. Kele, a huge fan of Lydon’s approached the singer to ask if he would ever consider reforming one of his favourite bands, Public Image Ltd.

“The Sex Pistols singer became intimidating and aggressive while his entourage responded with a racist tirade including the statement, “your problem is your black attitude”

“Kele was then set upon by 3 members of Lydon’s crew who punched him in the face and head as well as attacking people who tried to protect Kele from the assault including Yannis Philippakis from The Foals and Kaiser chiefs Ricky Wilson.

“The incident was broken up by festival security and was later reported to Spanish police. Kele also reported the incident to police in the UK after returning from Spain.”

Rotten responds by denying the claims and saying Kele is jealous of him:

The Saga Continues as John Lydon hits back at Kele Okerere...

John 'Rotten' Lydon has hit out after reports that Bloc Party front man, Kele Okerere, was victim of racist abuse from the rock veteran and his crew.

Kele suffered ‘cuts to his face and body’ while backstage at the Summercase Festival in Barcelona after an incident involving John Lydon’s entourage, click here for the report.

Johnny Rotten has hit back by claiming that the reports are unjustified “our audience… are multi-varied, all ages, all races, creeds and colours. When you are at a festival with bands who are jealous fools, lies and confusion usually follow."

The Sex Pistol claims that Kele was simply jealous of his bands’ popularity stating that he’d signed autographs for hours "this seems to have sparked jealousy in certain bands”.

Lydon continued with some rather condescending advice for Kele "Grow up and learn to be a true man. When you have achieved as much as I have, come back and talk to me.”
