An achingly beautiful, loving, precious, hilarious, witty, sensitive, underestimated, misunderstood man who left this world too soon and spent most of his short existence in confusion, betrayal, exploitation, manipulation and pain. The real love of his life was the Sex Pistols, not his infamous girl, Nancy Spungen. God rest her soul, but, they were not good for one another, and it is silly to view that torturous entanglement as "love". It was the initiation to the speed train to both of their horrible, unnecessary deaths. My saying this does not make her a bad person, or him a perfect person, it's just simply the truth.

Sid Vicious was the second bassist for the largely popular punk band, the Sex Pistols. He was voilent, crazy and bored. During shows, Sid would carve words into his chest or vomit on the crowd. Sid soon met Nancy and she introduced him to herione which he quickly became addicted to. Sid was later accused of killing Nancy and he eventually overdosed on herione. Sid is a punk legend and is often seen as a mascot for punk. He often gains most credit for the Sex Pistols although he wasn't the greatest bassist and he didn't write all of the songs. But, Sid showed that you didn't exactly need to be the greatest at your instrument to be in a punk band, but to have the right spirit and attitude. Many people blame Nancy for Sid's troubles and death because she introduced him to the highly addictive drug, but without Sid's death would the punk scene be the same? If Sid didn't become addicted to herione, would punk in GENERAL be the same?
Sid Vicious died on February 2nd, 1979. He was 21 years and 9 months old.

Deceased musician whose birth name was some combination of John, Simon, Beverly, and Ritchie, depending on whose side of the story you're hearing. His stage name was not derived from Syd Barrett, it came from friend John Lydon's hamster Sidney who apparently bit Lydon's father on the finger and earned the nickname "Vicious."
Sid played in the first incarnation of Siouxsie and the Banshees, before joining the Pistols, meeting druggie Nancy Spungen, and basically wasting away until he died. Moral: Heroin is not good.
