Deborah Spungen. Deborah Spungen, in her book, describes life with Nancy as very difficult, and expressed incredible grief, but a bit of a release, at Nancy's death. Hope that you enjoyed this tribute to the Sex Pistols.
"And I Don't Want to Live This Life". "And I Don't Want to Live This Life" is the story of Nancy, told by her mother. The title was taken from a poem Sid Vicious wrote about her afer her death: "You were my little baby girl/And I knew all your fears/Such joy to hold you in my arms/And kiss away your tears/But now you're gone/There's only pain/And nothing I can do/And I don't want to live this life/If I can't live for you." The direct quote came from the book entitled 'And I Don't Want To Live This Life' written by Deborah Spungen and from www.celebritystorm.com
United States of America. She worked as a prostitute in London, and then came to be with Sid Vicious through her express intent of sleeping with a Sex Pistol.
Meningitis. When he was seven, Johnny was hospitalized for meningitis, after he started to hallucinate regularly.

Anarchy in the U.K.. "Anarchy in the U.K." was a shocking and controversial song from the moment it hit the country. It is considered one of the greater classics of punk rock.
21. The news of Sid's death was both surprising and expected. Sid's life could be described as chaotic at best, and with his drug abuse problem and wrist-cutting habits, his lifestyle was far from healthy. Sid Vicious was born John Simon Ritchie on the 10th of May 1957, in London, to John Ritchie and Anne Randall. He died on the 2nd February 1979. He was only twenty-one years old.
Paul Cook and Steve Jones. Paul Cook and Steve Jones were on better speaking terms with Sid Vicious than Johnny Rotten after the band's break up. Though not as famous as Johnny and Sid, they were a driving influence behind the band and an important part of the Sex Pistols--they were the ones who started the band.
He cut his wrists with a razorblade. Though his eventual death was caused by an overdose, the first time after Nancy's death he tried to kill himself with a razor blade and pieces of a broken lightbulb.
Nancy Spungen. Nancy was found dead in her room at the Chelsea Hotel. Vicious later overdosed and most likely purposefully killed himself out of grief over Nancy's death.
John Lydon. Born John Lydon on January 31, 1956 in England.
Anne Beverley. Anne Beverley is the one who found Sid dead, when she went to bring him his morning tea.
John Simon Ritchie. Born John Simon Ritchie on May 10, 1957, to John Ritchie and Anne Randall, Vicious had an unusal childhood. He often baby-sat for friends and family members of his mother and learned to swear very loudly in Spanish. Since John Jr.'s father, John Sr., left his little family when John was just an infant, his mother Anne, went to Ibiza, where she and her young son lived with friends and family until 1965.
Irish. Though Johnny Rotten was raised in London, his parents were both Irish. Although he considered himself a Londoner, there was Irish blood in him, and he came to know some of their traditions.
