Deaths of Sid and Nancy Leave Many Unanswered Questions, 40 Years Later 

"Sid is no long vicious, he's dead" is the funniest and also most disrespectful way any death has ever been reported.

Sid's own mom is the one who introduced him to heroin when he was a teenager and then she is the one who killed him because he was 'depressed' it's not hard to see why he was so messed up.

8:43 “Sid is no longer vicious-he’s dead” DAMN BRUTAL lol

The knife was wiped clean. Sid didn't seem like he was smart enough to do that.

"Sid was a idiot. He looked great though" lmaooo who says that

Watch these documentaries: 1 - "Who killed Nancy?" 2 - "Sad Vacation" 3 - "Sid ! (by those who really knew him)" 4 - "The Final 24 hours of Sid Vicious"

The way the reporter said Sid is no longer vicious he's dead. 😂

I’ll never declare Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen as bad people. Both of them were very young and messed up when they died. What the hell do you know when you’re 20-21 years old, even if you’re from a well-off background, and sophomore or Junior in college, and with a stable middle or upper middle class family supporting you.

The Chelsea hotel actually changed the numbers of all their rooms as they could no longer handle the stream of visitors wanting to see the place where Sid and Nancy stayed. They considered it a terrible event and wish that fans would leave it alone.

“Simon ferocious” is what Freddie Mercury once called him.

For some reason it’s chilling to hear him say: under the ground Makes me shudder every time

There's a great documentary that covers this called Who Killed Nancy? It goes really in-depth and can be found on RU-vid for anyone interested in more of the story.

For what it's worth, I never thought Sid Vicious was guilty. He was devastated by her death and he never recovered. It's actually quite sad watching that last interview, he was so scared that he had done it and didn't remember. Since he was the only suspect the police ever considered, it seems unlikely that he would have been acquitted and I think he knew that. But the fact that the knife had been wiped clean of fingerprints has always been a red flag to me. If Sid was so out of it that he killed her in some drug fueled rage, he would not have had the wherewithal to wipe off the knife. That was someone with intent to cover their own tracks and frame Sid.

So sad to hear anyone say they want to be under the ground. If you're feeling this way I'm praying your life gets better soon.

I remember when that happened. I was about 13. I remember thinking they seemed so old. Now, I know they were just kids.

40 years later

Probably what happened in my humble opinion: 1. The stabbing was connected to a robbery in the room while Sid was passed out because people knew they were flush with cash dropping all over the place. 2. Sid's mom administered or helped Sid administer the fatal dose. 3. The real murderer of Nancy has never been caught and may be dead by now.

you can never convince me that kid did that. he was obsessed with her.

'Sid is no longer viscious - he's dead' Jeez what kind of news headline is that??!

In all the confusion Everyone who was there that night agreed on 2 things 1) that Sid was not conscious the entire night. He was completely gone on tuinals 2) Nancy was flashing a lot of cash in front of desperate addicts. I don’t think for a second that Sid killed her. There was no money in the room when the police searched it.

Hey you scrolling through the comments have a great day 😍😘

If you haven’t already, read the book “I don’t want to live this life” by Nancy’s mother. Excellent, tragic read

Deborah Spungen (Nancys Mom) wrote a wonderful book called "And I Don't Want To Live This Life." The title is a line from a poem that Sid wrote for Nancy after her death, which he sent to Nancys mom in a letter from jail. Anyway the book talks about how Nancy was from a baby all the way up to when she died. It also details what Sid & Nancys relationship was like when they visited the Spungen home. It's pretty graphic in it's details. It's a really great read and gives amazing insight to Nancys rages and outbursts, which apparently had plagued her from birth.

0:08 "she was definitely the Yoko of the 70s"

I remember Sid walking through Union Square, NYC when i was a kid. My dad was a 60's radical and i had lived on many communes and other strange places, so, I thought that I'd seen it all. but Sid's look at the time was so completely other worldly. It was mind blowing. Frankley, he looked insane in a completely new way. Soon after, I saw, The Great Rock and Roll Swindle at the original Max's Kansas City. And few years later I was a punk myself. LoL

How could Sid have killed her when he was passed out from Tuinal at the time of her murder?

Gary Oldman's best movie portrayal ever. He should've received an Oscar.

Gotta say, great segment from Inside Edition. Finally!

Sid absolutely did NOT kill Nancy. Not only was she his lover but she was also his caregiver. She took care of him like a mother. He could not survive without her.

Finally a cool interesting vid on inside edition. Badass band 🤟🤘

Thank you for being respectful when telling the tragic story of these incredible kids. Youth can be a double edged sword for kids with exceptional talent.

THIS IS AMAZING!!! Love this content, and style of videos. Keep it up guys, you’re doing great!❤️

I dont think Sid Killed Nancy..

Oohh😮 a long upload from Inside Edition! I love it, much better than the one to two minute clips👍

She was 20? Stay away from drugs, kids.

It's a tragedy to be lost in pain like this. Thank you for sharing.

It's amazing how the environment shapes music, whether its the danger of '70s NY punk, the politics of UK punk, or the gloom of '90s Seattle grunge.

I wish I could time travel to New York 1978 to just see what it was like.

40 years on, still love you SID. RIP.

Sid was a victim of his stage persona. When Nancy was found dead, the public thought, “how could it be that a guy named Sid VICIOUS didn’t do it?” His name and image were enough to condemn him.

Sid was on the fast-track to tragedy no matter what...a matter of “when” not “if”

They where 20 & 21 how can you say hopeless junkies ? I was hooked on dope for many years got clean for years and got hooked again got clean it never goes away but people do get clean and some stay clean

Because Sid died, an investigation was closed. Which meant there was a murderer walking around scott free.

INSIDE EDITION MAKING GOOD CONTENT???

Given that the hotel had a bad reputation and there was certain corridors you couldn't walk down without being mugged, its so obvious that someone else killed her. People knew they were rich or at least thought they were rich and a perfect target to steal from, especially because they were always so out of it. However Nancy was usually more level headed than Sid and that may have taking any robber by surprise so they stabbed her quickly and took whatever they could. Sid was so out of it, he didn't even know what had happened or if he had done it. He couldnt remember a thing and was probably not even conscious before it happened. When the investigators said he was suspect because he was the only one in the room, well DUH... The attacker is hardly gonna stay in the room and given that Sid was passed out, I don't think he should of been treated like a suspect. Another thing that possibly happened is that they owed drug dealers and Nancy didn't have the money on time. Maybe they lied and promised some big money, exploiting the Sex Pistols fame or yes, it could have been a suicide pact. I read Nancy's mothers book and Nancy always spoke about wanting to die and I think she even asked Sid to kill her. But apparently Sid was also abusive on drugs and bit her ear once and it needed stitches. He also dangled her out a window according to her mother.

Sid Vicious was innocent 💔

The fact the prints on the knife were wiped clean indicates he didn't do it. He wasn't bright enough to wipe prints off a murder weapon, plus wasn't he out of it, so how could have he done it?

They need to re-open this case. It deserves a proper, professional and accurate resolution! They closed it because their only suspect died and they didn't want to bother to find out the truth about a couple of, in their opinion I'm sure, useless junkies. Whether Sid did it or not, the case deserves to be solved!

I was in New York in the 70's . Thought I'd check out the Chelsea as I heard it was a home of artists , poets . I couldn't believe how EXPENSIVE it was to rent a room . All the bohemians &" punks " staying there were rich . I found the hypocrisy unappealing and avoided CBGB'S and the " scene " from that that on .

The way I see their relationship is like this, one is the dynamite, one is the match, separately they’re okay, but together they exploded. I think they both just brought out the worst in each other and egged each other on

can't forget where I heard, they were partying, shooting up with all kinds of unsavory types, some had the idea to rob them later in the night, which is what happened and Nancy got stabbed for it. When Sid woke up from his Narco sleep, he was classically framed.

So New York looks like the 1970s again.

Rip Sid Vicious and Nancy we hope they find each others 💕

The Film, all though a Classic, still glamorised the story, everyone including Johnny Rotten said things were a thousand times more worse when it came to Sid & Nancy's life and relationship. And did you all know that Gary Oldman was wearing Sid's real life famous padlock necklace in the movie?

“This place is like a mental hospital.” LOL

"NANCY You were my little baby girl And I shared all your fears. Such joy to hold you in my arms And kiss away your tears. But now you're gone there's only pain And nothing I can do. And I don't want to live this life If I can't live for you. To my beautiful baby girl. Our love will never die." - Sid

They call Sid and Nancy story "anti-Romeo and Juliette" but the stories end the same with knives and drugs

Although Sid was sadly a Junkie .I never believe he Killed Nancy . I believe someone got away with murder

I lived in the Hotel Chelsea for 3 & 1/2 years, and the elevator used to stop on the 1st floor when nobody pressed the button. They tried to fix it, thinking it was a short, but it happened inconsistently. We figured it was Sid or Nancy coming and going.

I never thought Sid murdered Nancy and I still don't believe it

It's a bit suspicious that the knife was wiped clean. If he was stoned enough to kill her and he wasn't the sharpest knife in the draw to begin with which he wasn't everyone says that even John Lydon (aka. Johnnie Rotten who was his friend) then he wouldn't have been compus mentus enough to have done it.

I thought it was Geraldo Rivera reporting until they showed the guy

Thank you for posting this really interesting documentary! Incidentally, i love Legs McNeil's image and he comes across as a real cool dude! xxxx

Thanks for the video 🙃

Great! Video! THANKS!!!! Sooo! Much! For! Uploading! It! On! Here! & .R.i.P.!!! :TO: Sid~&~Nancy!! Both!....❤

I didn't realize how young they were when they died.

Thank you inside edition sorry to hear that

Sid is no longer vicious he's dead, wow savage old man 🙉

So did they ever check out Victor as a suspect? He was there the night before and then says he moved out the day she died.

Well at least there at peace and together now ,RIP to them both ❤️

Comparing Sid to Manson is pretty absurd.

RIP sid hope u playing them all up .keep on rocking sid sadly missed

Everyone on here should read the book Nancy's mother wrote!!! She talks about Nancy's mental health problems that started showing when she was just a little girl!!! Explains things about Nancy most dnt know. Sorry cant remember the book name I read it in the early 80s when I was in jr high!!!!! 🤯🎃💀👻🧟‍♀️☠🤩💚✌❕❕❕

Listen man, Sid ate 30 Tuinals the night before. Wipe the knife clean? He was lucky he was still breathing.

One of the things that we may never know what really happened that night. So many rumours and theories and none of them verified and nearly impossible to do so now.

Nancy's mother speculated that Nancy may have manipulated Sid into ending her life. According to her mom, Nancy had dealt with mental health issues (and had fallen through the cracks) her entire life and had been suicidal since she was young. Her story is actually heartbreaking. Her mother wrote about Nancy's life and her family's struggle to find help for her in the book "And I Don't Want To Live This Life".

I wish I known more of these two or the band. I found out about them from this anime called, "Nana" which was kinda based off them. I wonder what it was like growing up back then in their times

Like John Lydon said, "Heroin killed Sid and Nancy." end of story.

Loved this! Punk forever!

Damn I love this channel even more now 🤟🏼

check this out. if they described sid as stupid and moronic then why would he wipe down a knife. especially while intoxicated. they also mentioned there being money in the room. did vicious is a celebrity at the time and nancy “wanted him for his money or whatever” so i think someone went for the money and nancy tried to stop it so she got shanked and sid didn’t hear anything

I went to N.Y in 1977 for a trip it was scary

I feel sorry for Sid Vicious. He loved Nancy & that ruined him. He became the victim of the murder of his gf & became upset of the accusation & at last killed himself by drug overdose. There's no denying that Sid was super cute.

Reading in viv albertines book she said when Nancy first came to London that she was on the run from trouble could be related to her death

Anyone interested in this story should read "And I Don't Want to Live This Life : A Mother's Story of Her Daughter's Murder" by Deborah Spungen.. Truly heartbreaking story. These kids lived their short lives in so much pain. God rest them.

He didn't do it.

Now with all the remakes, this is one I would watch

SNL said he was going to change his name to Sid "Not such a bad guy" as part of his defense. Never forgot that.

No way would Sid have wiped the knife clean. He was too out of it to think smart.. It was a robbery and he was set up.

They both looked 40. Drugs... 😵

"Sid is no longer Vicious hes DEAD!!!!!" THAT 1970'S SAVAGERY JUMPED OUT! IM FACKING DEAD NOW TOO!!LMAO

It's kinda hard to hear the people talking with the background music.

We need more story like this please 🐃👑👑

“Sid is No longer vicious he’s dead” lmao wow

such a sad rock n roll story......people hated her but Sid loved her.

Courtney love auditioned to play the part of nancy in the alex cox film, interesting!

8:43 WYDHSHEIWDJCNSKCK IM CACKLING 😂😂😂

Nancy looked like Roosters girlfriend from "Annie"

Very disrespectful way to announce a death! Did they just drag his body out in that body bag...not even on a stretcher?!!

Days after Sid's death his mom was brought to a recording session in NYC for the album Static Age by The Misfits. Best 1degree of separation in early punk. RIP Sid.
