Sioux later had a falling out with Johnny Rotten and the two are no longer friends. In his autobiography No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs, John said the feud started when Siouxsie showed up at his house and excitedly told him she had just bought a new washing machine and suggested they have a “washing machine party”. John thought this was ridiculous and called her a fake and a fraud. Apparently the two never talked again and whenever Sioux would walk by John's house he would lean out the window and yell, “How's the washer!?”. Over the years John was very vocal of his dislike for Siouxsie and the Banshees.
