A New Groupie in Town
Nancy Spungen was a loud-voiced groupie who flung her arms around any rocker who was willing to accept her aggressive embrace. At just 19, she had exhausted the New York punk scene and swapped it with London’s turbulent streets, hoping to find new prey. Lo and behold, she came across the perfect target – The Sex Pistols’ “bass player,” Sid Vicious.

Nancy was staggering her way around the Roxy Bar’s dancefloor, asking for cigarettes when she ran into Sid. Initially, she tried to make a move on his friend and the Pistols singer Johnny Rotten, but after he shot her down, she tried her luck with the guy beside him. Insecure and thirsty for love, Sid took her in without hesitation.
