Involvement With Sid Vicious
Only was one of the few people to see Sid Vicious the night he died. In 1979, he attended a party that Sid's mother threw for Sid when he was released on bail for being accused of murdering his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, at the time. Only said in an interview that he and Sid's mom made him dinner. Next morning Sid was dead of a heroin overdose. A note was found in Sid's pocket which gave speculation that it was a suicide due to he and Nancy having a death pact. Only would then go with Sid's mom to spread Sid's ashes on Nancy's grave. Sid originally wanted to be buried next to her like his suicide note said but Nancy's family refused.

“Not only do our wives need support, but our children need our deep involvement in their lives. If this period [the early years] of primitive needs and primitive caretaking passes without us, it is lost forever. We can be involved in other ways, but never again on this profoundly intimate level.”
—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
“What makes this Generation of Vermin so very Prolifick, is the indefatigable Diligence with which they apply themselves to their Business. A Man does not undergo more watchings and fatigues in a Campaign, than in the Course of a vicious Amour. As it is said of some Men, that they make their Business their Pleasure, these Sons of Darkness may be said to make their Pleasure their Business. They might conquer their corrupt Inclinations with half the Pains they are at in gratifying them.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
