Public Image Ltd. have announced that they’ll be competing to
represent Ireland at Eurovision 2023.
The post-punk legends – comprised of former Sex Pistol John
Lydon, plus Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth and Bruce Smith – are submitting previously
unheard song Hawaii for their chance to enter the 67th annual Eurovision Song
Contest.
As well as sharing the song on digital platforms today (listen
below), Hawaii will be performed live next month on Ireland’s The Late Late
Show from 9:30pm on February 3.
Detailing its meaning, John explains: “It is dedicated to
everyone going through tough times on the journey of life, with the person they
care for the most. It’s also a message of hope that ultimately love conquers
all.”
