At the registry office, he was listed as Simon John Ritchie, but for John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon (Gionni il Marcio), Stephen Philip "Steve" Jones, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock (that is, the Sex Pistols) and the rest of the world, he would always be "Sid Vicious" (Sid il Malvagio). He was born in London on May 10, 1957, and died just over twenty-two years old from an overdose in New York on February 2, 1979.

Here with Alphaville, we dedicate a piece of Dylan to him Sid Vicious - Forever Young and that’s it...
