Nora Forster was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2018, and the punk rocker became her full-time carer until her tragic death, aged 80, in April this year. John admitted it was 'much harder' than he thought dealing with Nora's death, as the couple had been married for almost 50 years, and he told The Times he is using her ashes to help him process her passing. ''I thought I would be able to handle this side of it, but it is, if anything, worse. I like to sleep with Nora's ashes in the cupboard next to the bed because there is no expectancy of meeting her in this life again,' he sadly shared in an interview with The Times. He added: 'Now I don't have anyone to share my life with. I am sitting in an empty house and all I can think about is Marc Almond singing 'The House Is Haunted by the Echo of Your Last Goodbye'. Might as well go back out on tour.' Reflecting on how he and his beloved wife managed to go the distance throughout his chaotic lifestyle and showbiz career, John said: "I have seen relationships crash around me, especially when fame is involved, and I cannot help but think people were too flippant about their life partners. 'Nora and I argued a great deal but the arguments were so stunning that they made life worthwhile, and we were always honest and open about everything.' Back in April, Nora's death was announced in an emotional post on Twitter, as John asked for space to allow him to grieve. 'Rest in Peace Nora Forster. It is with a heavy heart that we share the sad news that Nora Forster - John Lydon's wife of nearly 5 decades - has passed away. Nora had been living with Alzheimer's for several years. In which time John had become her full time carer,' the t){kind=link}
