Episode 44: Vicious- The Killing of Nancy Spungen

Sid and Nancy have been called a modern-day “punk Romeo and Juliet”, but underneath that surface-level romanticism was a dark reality.

Sid Vicious, the notoriously rebellious member of the punk band The Sex Pistols met bleach-blonde groupie Nancy Spungen in London at the height of the punk rock movement. What followed was a relationship fueled by drug addiction, and Nancy would end up dead from a stab wound in NYC in 1978.
