Sex Pistols, Sid Vicious

Description

Portrait of Sid Vicious. Photographer Jill Furmanovsky recalls ‘I was a little afraid of Sid and kept my distance when I saw him in clubs etc. Nevertheless I was brave enough to snatch this image of him and Nancy in the dressing room after a Ramones gig that took place on New Years’ Eve, hence the bottle of champagne in Nancy’s hand. In the murky background is Linda Stein who was married to Seymour Stein of Sire Records, and Dee Dee Ramone listening intently to Sid. None of those mentioned are alive now.’ Roundhouse, London, 31st December 1977. (Photo Jill Furmanovsky) Edition 30
