Such is the case of Vicious, the protagonist of this sample
“When he took heroin, he completely changed, he became a totally different person”Morris, 62, told the AFP news agency, noting: “They read things about Sid Vicious and they think he was quite violent, but he was actually quite tender, very shy.”
In the exhibition, which can be visited until July 15 in the English capital, an installation recreates an image: it is a room destroyed by Vicious during a tour in 1977, with an unarmed bed full of food wrappers, a floor full of crystals and pages torn from a bible. In the image, the bedside table full of drugs can also be glimpsed.
In the photo, the bassist is half-naked, lying between two single beds, while another person, unidentified but “probably a fan,” is curled up on one of the beds. “One night Sid went completely out of control and trashed his room,” said Morris, who recorded that scene summoned by the uncontrolled sounds. “My room was right next to hers and when the noise finally stopped I opened the door and it was complete chaos.”
