Kompas Events said a contract for a gig in Romania has not been signed, but the band had planned a European tour in 2008.

Sex Pistols survivors got back together early November 2007 in London for a concert celebrating 30 years since the launch of the band’s first album, "Never Mind the Bollocks".

John Lyndon, Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock had another four concerts at the Brixton Academy in London, and another two in Manchester and Glasgow.

Founded in London in 1975 by singer Johnny Rotten, guitar player Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bass player Glen Matlock, later replaced by Sid Vicious, the Sex Pistols split in 1978 after a disastrous U.S. tour and the death of Sid Vicious.

Their debut album, "Never Mind the Bollocks", came out in 1977 and stirred frantic controversy with hits such as "Anarchy In The UK" and "Pretty Vacant".

In 2006, the punk legends were included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but they refused to attend the ceremony and sent an offensive hand-written note instead.
