Sex Pistols Poster For Their Final Tour in The UK - Poster promoting the Sex Pistols’ last shows in the UK: their ”Never Mind The Bans” tour. The poster’s designer Jamie Reid puts the punk band’s image to work, proudly displaying a collage of rejection letter clippings from venues that refused to host them. One reads: ”…The unfortunate reputation they have gained seems to bring in its wake inevitable scenes of violence and resulting damage…” Slated to play eight shows in the UK from 16-25 December 1977, the turmoil-laden band had to cancel half of them and would never play the UK again. Sid Vicious would die of a heroin overdose on 1 February 1979 at age 21.
