Lydon fracas "horrific"

John Lydon was involved in a "horrific" assault on Bloc Party star Kele Okereke, according to an eye-witness. Gruff Rhys, of Super Furry Animals and Neon Neon fame, has confirmed reports of the fracas, which took place at Benicassim in Spain last weekend. The Sex Pistols' star and his entourage are alleged to have launched an "unprovoked racial attack" on the singer on Saturday night. Rhys has now backed up his claim, commenting: "The statements Kele has said are absolutely true. It did happen. "It was horrific. Kele is a very brave man and what he said is exactly what happened." Lydon has since insisted that Okereke is lying. "If they need publicity so badly this is the allegation universe they run into", he said. Watch The Sex Pistols' music videos here...
