LYDON FACES SECOND RACE CLAIM

Punk legend JOHN LYDON has been accused of singing racist songs to staff at a London bar.

John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten at Mojo Honours List held at the Brewery. London, England - 16.06.08

The 52-year-old allegedly sang "bloody Arabs" and "towel heads" with his friends during a seven hour drinking binge in a west London public house on Wednesday (23Jul08).

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "They were singing songs with lyrics that were clearly derogatory about Arabs.

"It was shocking to hear. They were singing at the top of their voices and had to be told to be quiet because of the neighbours, but they wouldn't listen."

It is the second time Lydon has been accused of racism - he was accused of an attack on black Bloc Party singer Kele Okereke last week (19Jul08). But Lydon denied he was racist.
