4 Sid Vicious John Beverly, born John Simon Ritchie, later named Sid Vicious, was an English musician, most famous as the bass guitarist of the influential punk rock band the Sex Pistols, and notorious for his arrest for the alleged murder of his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen.

I don't think he was a good bassist and pretty much he couldn't play atall and blew all the lydons money he gave to sid on heroin instead of lessons but at the times of Nancy's stabbing he was passed away out on paracetamol and I don't think he was a douche just a missled kid

He was charged with conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a one-year-old girl, and with possession and/or distribution of indecent images of children and "extreme animal pornography

Absolutely disgusting pedophile, who considering he described his terrible acts as "mega lols", must think this is a joke.
