Product Description
Synopsis
To coincide with the 25th anniversary of the death in 1979 of the greatest icon to come out of the punk era, this biography celebrates his life and career and recounts the circumstances of his sad untimely death. Like so many rock stars before him, Simon John Beverley (AKA Sid Vicious) got too close to the flame of celebrity and paid the ultimate price in suicide and scandal with the murder of his girlfriend Nancy Spungeon in New York. Still mourned by fans past and present, his legacy cannot be denied, as part of the first major act to take punk into the mainstream, albeit via the unashamed tactics and PR spin of Malcolm McClaren. Now, author Mark Paytress charts the rise and fall of the Prince of Punk, containing interviews with contemporaries past and present, as well as an overview of the period itself and a look at what became of the icons that glittered all too briefly.
