As part of their 24 hour only "March Madness promotion" (starting today, Wednesday March 27th at 15:00 GMT) Concert Live are reducing the last few remaining limited edition John Lydon 'Fun' and 'Sacred Heart' t-shirts to just £30.
The designs - adapted from John's award winning book Mr Rotten's Scrapbook - are featured on an exclusive range (1-100) of uniquely numbered T-shirts, printed inside out to Mr Rotten's specification, complete with embroidered patch on the reverse, revealing the individual authenticity of this strictly limited edition range. A total of 6 different designs were made in late 2012 of which only a handful of 'Fun' and 'Sacred Heart' t-shirts remain.
The same level of care and attention that went into Mr Rotten's Scrapbook has gone into designing and producing these unique T-shirts and they will undoubtedly become as rare and collectible as Mr Rotten’s Scrapbook itself. Get them while you can...
Order the shirts via the Concert Live website. Please note Concert Live accept international orders and the shirts can be delivered worldwide.

Live in Texas 2012 limited edition signed poster
(now sold-out) During the 2012 North American tour we printed a small run of Live in Texas posters. Less than 15 remain so we had the whole band sign these (John Lydon, Scott Firth, Lu Edmonds & Bruce Smith) and they are now available to purchase exclusively via the PiL US Merchandise site. These stunning 17x11" full colour posters on glossy paper were designed and produced by PiL Official especially for the tour and are a great souvenir of some very special shows. On sale sale now! First come first served. No Shit Now Rock.
SORRY, POSTERS SOLD-OUT IMMEDITELY
