The former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon says he feels "guilty" for introducing the late Sid Vicious to the band.

Lydon said that Vicious, who died aged 21 in 1979 from a heroin overdose, was unable to deal with the pressure of fame and drugs that came with being in a band.

Lydon and the other band members had already been together a year by this point, and were "better prepared".

"He [Vicious] was ill-equipped mentally to deal with the pressures," Lydon said. "He just totally got sucked up into it. I tell you, fame is a monster."
