Pistols to Save Queen
THE Sex Pistols are re-issuing their once-banned punk rock anthem God Save The Queen to mark the Queen’s upcoming platinum jubilee.
The punk group released their anti-authoritarian hit in 1977 to mark the silver jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, and it was banned by the BBC.
Despite this, the song reached number two in the UK singles charts. The band later promoted the record on their own Jubilee boat trip along the Thames which ended in their arrest.
