Blood-spattered Sex Pistols poster from Sid and Nancy's hotel room goes on display

A blood-spattered Never Mind The Bollocks poster from Nancy Spungen's Chelsea Hotel room will be shown at an exhibition of Sid and Nancy memorabilia in London.

A blood splattered poster which hung in the hotel room where Nancy Spungen (the other half of the Sex Pistol's Sid Vicious) was murdered will be displayed in an exhibition of Sid & Nancy memorabilia at London's Hospital centre.

Spungen was stabbed to death in 1978, allegedly by Vicious in a drug-crazed stupor. The incident occurred in room 100 of New York's Chelsea Hotel where the couple had been living.

The poster, advertising Sex Pistols album 'Never Mind The Bollocks', was sold by Sid's mother Anne Beverley after his death a year later. It is unclear whether the blood stains are connected to Spungen's gruesome death.

The poster will feature alongside original t-shirts, posters, handwritten lyrics and other collectibles at the exhibition.
