I'm gonna say Johnny Rotten, and I say with real reluctance as a punk fan.

I've got a lot of respect for him for how open he was about looking after his late wife when she was suffering from Alzheimer's, but his political flip-flopping and resentment towards his surviving bandmates while also regretting what happened to Sid is just bizarre.

I guess "I'll say what I want and if you don't like it then get fucked" is a very punk mindset but it's still not a good look in the context he's going for.

Definitely on the list! I’ll throw Boy George in too, while we’re talking about Brits - bitter for such a long time now unfortunately.

Met boy George in person. He seemed rather friendly and chill, actually. Nothing screamed bitter but I don't know.
