After playing three charity dates earlier that month,o save the iconic venue The Bush Hall in London in earlier that month, three quarters of the original line-up The Sex Pistols reunited with former Gallows frontman Frank Carter for a further five shows at the end of September. Whether you see the absence of John Lydon this as a new chapter in the band's history, or as glorified karaoke, we will leave you to make up your own mind. These photographs by Andrew Twambley were taken at the O2 Academy in Manchester on the 24th September.
