ex-prostitute, sometimes stripper and heroin addict, was found dead in a
bathroom at the Chelsea Hotel in New York. She also happened to be the
girlfriend of he Sex Pistols' bassist Sid Vicious, who was quickly
accused of her murder. Less than 6 months
later, he died of a heroin overdose and the case was closed.
The
death of Sid and Nancy has passed into rock legend and has only added to
the controversial and notorious image of the Sex Pistols and punk
music.
At the request of Sid's mother, who committed suicide in
1996, rock author and punk expert Alan Parker has devoted himself to
discovering WHO KILLED NANCY? By interviewing 182 people and
re-examining NYPD evidence, he investigates what really happened that
night in room 100.
