Anarchy in the USA: Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten sports a Make America Great Again t-shirt as he puffs on a cigarette before a gig in New Orleans

Former Sex Pistols frontman has been causing anarchy in the USA after he was caught sporting a Make America Great Again T-shirt as he puffed on a cigarette.

John Lyden, best known for his alter ego Johnny Rotten, was snapped as he leaned out of a window at New Orleans' Civic Theatre where his band Public Image Ltd were due to play. 

But the punk legend appeared to have left his hell-raising days in the past as he pulled a miserable expression.

Lydon, 62, showed his support for president Donald Trump by donning the controversial Trump t-shirt, also known as MAGA.

The singer also wore gold hoop earrings and had his dyed orange hair slicked back as he hung out of the window while smoking ahead of the gig.

This comes after Lydon was pictured looking unrecognisable as he walked through LAX International Airport last month.

The iconic singer looked relaxed in a loose fitting striped shirt and matching trousers as he retrieved his luggage after returning to California, where he has lived since the early 1980s.

Lydon, from London who now lives in Los Angeles, is best known for his anarchic behaviour and ironic wit as one the founders of the punk movement in 1975.

The God Save The Queen singer, who is a US citizen, has publicly backed president Trump and revealed that he could be even be a 'possible friend'.

The singer dubbed Mr Trump 'a complicated fellow' in an interview on ITV Britain, adding: 'As one journalist once said to me, is he the political Sex Pistol? In a way.

'What I dislike is the left-wing media in America are trying to smear the bloke as a racist and that's completely not true.'

The star has previously said he 'believed' in former president Barrack Obama became an American citizen due to his policies.

And despite his defense of the current Republican president, the anarchic star has revealed he angered him when he stepped on Melania Trump's dress while at a party.

He told The Sun: 'It was years ago I met Donald Trump where he was huffing and puffing at some charity do in New York.

'I have a habit in doing this, which I don't do deliberately, but if women insist on wearing dresses that are ten miles long then I will accidently put my foot on it.

'So I stood on his wife's dress and he spun around and was giving it all the tough-guy stuff.'

The punk star previously spoke about his alter ego, the gnarly, anarchic, snarling and slurring Johnny Rotten.

'Johnny Rotten was a piece of work,' he admitted in the documentary. 'I wanted to be Johnny Rotten.'

He also spoke movingly of his wife Nora, telling The Telegraph that she was a 'saucy girl'.

'She's not public fodder, she's a very private person. But it's love, you know. I've always loved that woman.

'When we met we didn't expect to get on. We'd both been told the other was a bad 'un. But blimey. Sparks flew. It was instant attraction.

'And that's never gone. I never expected to feel like that. I never thought I was in any way attractive. Or anyone's idea of a good date.'
