Punk rock band Sex Pistols' guitarist Steve Jones says the band would not reunite again as they are not able to make enough money.
The 61-year-old musician has reconciled with singer John Lydon, drummer Paul Cook and original bassist Glen Matlock three times since the group disbanded in 1978 after two-and-a-half years together but said it is unlikely they will tour together anymore, reported Rolling Stones.
"Not for the amount of money we make when we do reunions. If we were making Rolling Stones money, that would be different," Jones said.
The musician said he does not have any contact at all with frontman John, and though there is no tension between them, he is happy for things to be that way.
"There is no friendship. He lives in LA, I live in LA, but we just don't talk. I think the last time I spoke to him was 2008 when we did a tour of Europe. I have no desire to speak to him and he has no desire to speak to me. That's totally fine. I wish him all the best. I've got no resentment toward him," he said.
