Vicious: Too Fast to Live : The Authorised Biography Of Sid Vicious
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
"If there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that Alan Parker has forgotten more about the Sex Pistols than most of us, if were totally honest, could ever remember."-Steve Jones, Sex Pistols
Written with the full cooperation of his late mother, the book charts Sex Pistol, Sid's story from his childhood to his final fix in New York. It details his life before, during and after the Sex Pistols.
The book also reveals, for the first time, what really happened in Sid and Nancy's Chelsea Hotel room in the early hours of October 12, 1978, and finally identifies the figure now widely believed to have been Nancy's murderer.
Complete with a full discography, concert listings and many rare photographs, Vicious: Too Fast To Live is the definitive-and only authorized-biography of a 20th century icon.
Alan Parker was a young writer at Spiral Scratch Magazine, when Anne Beverley (Sid's mother) rang him to see about working together on a book; the original title Sid's Way was first published by Omnibus Press in November 1989. Alan has also worked on the movie Sid And Nancy as a script coordinator.
