Sid Vicious in the Haight

Haight Ashbury

The Sex Pistols played their last concert on January 14, 1978 at Winterland Ballroom, a short distance from here. Johnny Rotten closed the show with the words "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? Goodnight." The band dissolved shortly after. Sid Vicious made his way to this apartment on Delmar Street, where he suffered a non-fatal drug overdose in the days that followed. He died of an overdose a year later in New York City, at 21.
