Witness History: Archive 2011 - Death of Sid Vicious

With his snarl and spikey hair, the Sex Pistols bassist, Sid Vicious, was the embodiment of punk rock.

New York photographer, Eileen Polk, hung out with Sid Vicious and his American girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, when they moved to the city.

For Witness, she recalls their final days and Sid Vicious's death in February 1979.
