These Celebrities Died Tragically Young

Sid Vicious, 21 Years Old

The Sex Pistols singer and notorious bad boy Sid Vicious was only 21 years old when he died. After the release of the breakout hit "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols," he met his manager Nancy Spungen, with whom he entered into a rocky relationship. After an altercation that led to her death, Vicious was arrested under suspicion, released and sent to rehab, and ultimately died of a heroin overdose in 1979. His legacy stands as "The Prince of Punk," and The Sex Pistols haven't been the same without him in their lineup.
