Stephen Philip Jones, a British musician, was born on September 3rd, 1955, in West London. His early life was marked by turmoil, as his biological father, an amateur boxer named Don Jarvis, abandoned him and his mother when Jones was just two years old.
Later, his stepfather entered the scene, and for a brief period, Jones lived with his parents, grandparents, and stepfather in a house. However, at the age of 12, he moved to a one-bedroomed basement flat with his mother and stepfather in Shepherds Bush.
Jones's childhood was far from happy, and he felt that his mother hated him. As a result, he didn't want to get a job and was eventually thrown out of the family home by his stepfather at the age of 16. By this time, Jones already had a criminal record dating back to 1968 and had spent a year and a half in a reform school.
Despite his troubled past, Jones found solace in music and started a band, Q.T. Jones and the Sex Pistols, in 1972. The band underwent a name change and lineup adjustment, with Jones switching to guitar and vocals, before becoming one of the most notorious bands in the UK.
The breakup of the Sex Pistols led to drug addiction for Jones, particularly an addiction to heroin, which lasted until 1987. After overcoming his addiction, Jones released his first solo album and continued to work in the music industry.
In 1989, Jones released his second solo album and formed the Neurotic Outsiders. The Sex Pistols reunited for a world tour in 1996, and Jones continued to produce various bands. In recent years, he has showcased his acting skills in four films and plays football for Hollywood UTD.
