Sid Vicious
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Sid Vicious (May 10, 1957 – February 2, 1979) was an English punk musician. His real name was John Simon Ritchie-Beverly, but he is most famous under the name Sid Vicious. He was a member of the band The Sex Pistols from February 1977 to January 1978, but played his instrument (the bass guitar) very badly. However, his rude behavior was more important to the band than playing his instrument well.
On October 22, 1978 his girlfriend Nancy Spungen was killed with a knife. It is still not clear, if Sid Vicious killed her. Before he had to go to court, he killed himself by using drugs.
