SEX Pistol John Lydon wept on stage while speaking about his beloved wife Nora's final moments.

The punk star, 68, was opening his 45-date UK speaking tour called I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right.

Lydon, known as Johnny Rotten, lost Nora, 80, last year after a two-year battle with Alzheimer's disease.

Recalling the night she died, he said: "She started a death rattle, like the breathing. It is very, very strange and uncomfortable to be around.

"I knew then that it was finally coming. She held my hand and said Johnny'.

"And then in a heartbeat the ambulance arrived, in minutes.
