PiL’s last studio album of this period, 1992’s That What Is Not , included a sample from the Sex Pistols’ song “God Save the Queen” in the song “Acid Drops” (the younger Lydon’s voice is heard chanting the words, “No future, no future…” in the outro). Lydon disbanded the group a year later after Virgin Records refused to pay for the tour supporting the album, and Lydon had to pay for it out of his own pocket. The band’s last concert was performed on 18 September 1992 with the line-up of Lydon, McGeoch, Ted Chau (guitar, keyboards), Mike Joyce of the Smiths (drums), and Russell Webb (bass guitar). Allan Dias, PiL’s bassist since the spring of 1986, quit the band in the summer of 1992, some months before PiL itself went on hiatus.
