As he tells The Telegraph:
“I wasted — you’re the first to know this — 10,000 fucking pounds [about $15,600] in the last two years on apps on my iPad. I got into Game of Thrones, Game of War, Real Racing, and I just wanted to up the ante. And like an idiot I didn’t check myself. I’ve been checked now. But there’s a kid in me, see? A bit of my childhood was taken from me and I’m determined to bring it back.”
Other revelations from the curiously personal finance-focused interview include that Lydon considers Bowers & Wilkins speakers his best-ever purchase, and that he’s “not a bloke who wants a Ferrari in the garage. If I want to drive a Ferrari I’ve got PlayStation.”
