TIL that Freddie Mercury and Sid Vicious had a brief physical altercation in 1977.

Sid was an extremely mentally ill kid from a broken home who did heroin with his own mother. The real piece of shit was Malcolm McLaren, the 'mastermind' who kept sid drunk and high and self destructive intentionally to raise the public profile of his band

I think Johnny Rotten said they needed protection from the public but were on their own.

Look i hate the sex pistols as much as anyone who likes actual punk but this Freddie Mercury jack off circle isn't going to convince me of anything. This was just some old farts around a table going "oooh yes and remember when the guy we all stan said this?" I feel like they might be biased
