'''Sid Vicious''' (real name '''John Simon Ritchie''', 10 May 1957 - 2 February 1979) was the bassist for infamous [[punk rock]] band [[The Sex Pistols]]. Notorious for his wild persona and "live fast, die young" attitude, he died of a heroin overdose on in February, 1979, while awaiting trial for his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen's [[murder]]. However, they could never prove if Vicious had actually killed her; most evidence leads that he didn't. His time in the Sex Pistols is documented in the popular 1986 film ''Sid and Nancy'', which is actually a highly fictionalized account of the events. All band members have spoken out against it, and even Malcolm McLaren said it was untrue.
