Did Sid Vicious Kill Nancy? An interview wit Alan G. Parker

The boys are joined by Emmy nominated Alan G Parker, a British music journalist and promoter, turned author and director. Alan’s impressive body of work consists of 16 books, and 15 films. More on Alan: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2569672/

Parker is best known for his extensive research into the life and death of Sid Vicious, bassist for the English punk band the Sex Pistols. Parker has written three books about Sid Vicious, and has a very unique insight having been close to Sid’s mother Anne.

In October 1977 Sid’s girlfriend Nancy Spungen was stabbed and killed in New York. Sid’s previous convictions together with his name “Vicious” led police to believe this was an “open and shut” case presuming Sid, guilty of her murder. Sid died of a heroin overdose in February 1979, without being formally convicted of Nancy’s murder.

In this extensive look at Sid’s life, and the circumstances around Nancy’s death, Alan and the boys attempt to uncover the truth by examining the facts and personalities surrounding that fateful night in the Big Apple.

Alan’s latest documentary It Was Fifty Years Ago Today! The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper & Beyond picks up on the band as they end their grueling tour schedule in August 1966 (coincidentally following on from Ron Howard s Eight Days A Week) to return to the studio to record this landmark album https://www.amazon.com/Was-Fifty-Years-Today-Beatles/dp/B073LJYVNC
