Nora Forster was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. John Lydon has spoken and wrote for his wife Nora about her battle with Alzheimer’s when Public Image Ltd was representing Ireland in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.
John Lydon’s words- “I thought it would be really good because it meant my lovely wife, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s, might get a great sense of fun out of it if she managed to guess who it was.” “We’ve lived together for 47 years, Nora and I, so she must have some clues as to who I am and what I can get up to.”
