According to Sun Media Sex Pistols lead singer Johnny Rotten has never been mistaken for Mr. Compassion.

But Welsh performer Duffy got quite the unexpected surprise earlier this year when she tapped Rotten on the shoulder to say hello backstage at the MOJO (British music magazine) Honours List ceremony in mid-June.

According to various reports, Rotten told Duffy to "f--k off," berated her for the action and knocked her off balance.

"There are always so many different experiences but I would have to say that was really shocking," Duffy says of the incident which left her in tears.

"That was the one that frightened me the most. But the thing I have to remind myself is that you're doing this because I like music and that's the way I choose to express myself. And it's no big deal, I know there's a big wide world out there and I try not to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. I try to just take every day as it comes."
