Product Description
No one embodied the Sex Pistols raw, anarchic excesses like bassist Sid Vicious. Told from an insider¹s perspective, Sid Vicious: Rock ¹n¹ Roll Star covers the brief life of punk¹s original poster boy including everything from Vicious¹s lowly beginning as the only child of a drug-addicted parent to his obsession with violence and the notorious death of girlfriend Nancy Spungen. New material and numerous photographs capture the extremes of this charismatic rebel who crashed and burned at 21.
