Former Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese recently dropped a video clip on his Instagram account depicting Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones struggling to walk and dropping his shorts while leaving a restaurant. The post appeared on Josh Freese’s Instagram.
Steve Jones shows good humor
The ex-Foo Fighters drummer commented on the incident with characteristic humor and referenced Jones’ punk rock legacy.
“I don’t know about you, but I like knowing the guitarist of the Sex Pistols is still walking the walk,” Freese wrote about Steve Jones’ video.
Steve Jones himself shared Freese’s post on his own Instagram account, showing good humor about the situation. The post drew more attention through this cross-sharing.
The lighthearted exchange between the two musicians highlights the enduring camaraderie within the rock community, even when poking fun at each other’s mishaps.
Steve Jones’ health struggles
Jones’ physical struggles depicted in the video may be linked to his recent health challenges. The Sex Pistols guitarist experienced a serious heart attack in late 2019, which resulted in the placement of two stents in his heart. He described his recovery as slow and challenging, which may explain some of the mobility issues seen in the video shared by Freese.
At 69 years old, the musician has faced multiple health setbacks throughout his life. He revealed the details of his heart surgery on his radio show, “Jonesy’s Jukebox.” Additionally, he has previously battled Bell’s Palsy and other health complications that have impacted his daily life.
Beyond his punk rock legacy, Jones has maintained a diverse career in the entertainment industry. After the Sex Pistols disbanded, he collaborated with notable artists such as Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, and Johnny Thunders, showcasing his versatility as a musician beyond the punk scene.
