The Sex Pistols were one of the founding punk rock bands of the United Kingdom.

Their lyrics and antics commonly caused controversy in 1970s Britain, and a number of their records were banned from radio airplay, notably "Anarchy in the UK" and the anti-monarchist "God save the Queen".

Although in the song "Anarchy in the UK" the band's vocalist Johnny Rotten sang the lyrics "I am an antichrist, I am an anarchist" [1], he was in fact a well-brought-up, devout Catholic, and the band's song "Bodies" takes a strong anti-abortion stance.

The band eventually came to an end when Johnny Rotten left in 1978. All efforts to find another frontman for the Sex Pistols failed. Sid Vicious, lead guitarist, was suspected of murdering his girlfriend Nancy Spungen soon after the band's breakup. After being released on bail Sid Vicious, a long time heroin user, went to celebrate and was found dead the next day on 2nd February 1979. He was only 21 years old at the time of his death.
