By the end of 1977, the Sex Pistols sat at the top of the UK charts鈥� while simultaneously hitting rock bottom. Sid Vicious was imploding, his partner Nancy Spungen was fuelling the chaos and Johnny Rotten was growing disillusioned with Malcolm McLaren鈥檚 toxic games.

Still, the band pushed ahead with a final run of gigs, including an unexpectedly wholesome Christmas Day show for children of striking firefighters. No one knew it then, but it would be their final UK performance for two decades.

Then came their first American tour. The Pistols were dropped into the heart of the conservative South. Sid carved into his own chest on stage and Rotten was nearly broken by paranoia. The tour descended into violence, vomit, and blood.

And to the end, in San Francisco, with the band on its knees, Johnny Rotten stared down the crowd and asked: 鈥淓ver get the feeling you鈥檝e been cheated?鈥� With a literal mic drop, he walked off stage, signalling the end of the Sex Pistols.

Featuring archive interviews from: Nancy Spungen, Johnny Rotten, Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Malcolm McLaren, Sid Vicious, Sex Pistols鈥� roadie Stephen 'Roadent' Conolly.
