“Live fast, die young” is the eerie motto of more than one generation of world bohemia. The name of Sid Vicious, the iconic rock musician who tragically died at 21, is high on the list of those who lived too fast. He also became the first on the list of suspects in the murder of his own wife Nancy. And his hasty departure after her, a few months later, only cemented his terrible reputation. The book destroys the image of the hero of the punk scene that has developed in the public consciousness. Working closely with Sid's mother, the author traces the star's life from first cry to last dose, before, during and after the Sex Pistols, and reveals what really happened at the Chelsea Hotel on October 12, 1978 and who should be considered Nancy's killer.
