Sex Pistols to reform for one show

British punk rock band The Sex Pistols will reform in November for one concert to mark the 30th anniversary of their album "Never Mind the Bollocks."

The four surviving original band members -- John Lydon, Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock -- told a British music paper the band would play south London's Brixton Academy on November 8. Tickets for the concert go on sale this Friday.

The Pistols spearheaded the British Punk rock movement in the 1970s, helping to spawn hundreds of similar bands like the Clash and the Damned, who railed against the establishment and supergroups who they said had become boring.

The band split in 1978 shortly before the death of bassist Sid Vicious in New York from a drugs overdose.
