(TeamRock Radio) Sex Pistols mainman John Lydon says he feels partly responsible for the death of Sid Vicious. The bassist died of a heroin overdose in 1979 and Lydon reveals he feels bad because he brought Vicious into the band, exposing him to the lifestyle that accompanied the group.

He tells the Gloucestershire Echo: "He didn't stand a chance. His mother was a heroin addict. I feel bad that I brought him into the band - he couldn't cope. I feel a bit responsible for his death. There you are - I've confessed my demons."

Lydon is currently promoting his book Anger Is My Energy: My Life Uncensored, which he says is a "story of my childhood and Johnny Rotten - not the one invented by Malcolm Mclaren."
