Sid Vicious on the Way to a David Bowie Concert, 1973
Long before Sid Vicious earned his notorious reputation and pre-dating his time as a punk rocker playing bass on stage, he was a teenager attending concerts, relishing music from the audience like any other fan. Who would have guessed he was a devoted Bowie enthusiast? While it comes as a surprise, it’s not entirely unexpected.
The photograph of Vicious dates back to 1973 when the punk rocker was a mere 16-year-old, thrilled to witness his favorite artist perform live. We completely understand the excitement – we’d be thrilled to see Bowie live as well.
