Young love can be a pretty magical thing. But it usually doesnt end well. In the end, someone always gets hurt. No where is this exemplified better than the short lived relationship between Sex Pistols Bassist Sid Viscious and his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. As we know, this infamous relationship ended with Nancy lying on the floor of the Chelsea Hotel with a knife sticking out of her stomach. A few months later Sid himself would also be dead of a drug overdose.
This week we take a look at both the life of Sid and Nancy, as well as their untimely endings. This isnt a romantic story (contrary to popular belief), or a sexy one, Sid Viscious was not a good dude, and Nancy was an insanely troubled person. That being said, it is one hell of a story.
Oh ... also, dont do heroin.
