Death of Sid Vicious

Witness History

Available for over a year

With his snarl and spikey hair, the Sex Pistols bassist, Sid Vicious, was the embodiment of punk rock. New York photographer, Eileen Polk, hung out with Sid Vicious and his American girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, when they moved to the city. For Witness, she recalls their final days and Sid Vicious's death in February 1979. Image: Nancy Spungen and Sid Vicious, pictured in 1978 (Credit: Press Association)
