Sid & Nancy: Punk Rock Homicide | #426

When Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious woke up in a pool of his girlfriend’s blood, most people thought they knew the score. Sid & Nancy were famous across the world: the ultimate dysfunctional, smack-addicted punk power couple – and their reckless lifestyle was bound to end in tragedy.

But they were far from the only people in Room 100 of the infamous Chelsea Hotel that night. With a building full of shady characters coming and going; thousands of dollars in cash nowhere to be found; an endless list of dangerous enemies with a lot to gain; and enough drugs to make a blue whale see god: it’s the rock’n’roll mystery that just won’t quit.
