Although their initial career lasted just two and a half years, they became culturally influential in popular music. The band initiated the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspired many later punk, post-punk and alternative rock musicians, while their clothing and hairstyles were a significant influence on the early punk fashion|punk image. The Sex Pistols' first line-up consisted of vocalist Johnny Rotten (born John Lydon, guitarist Steve Jones (musician)|Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook, and bassist Glen Matlock, with Matlock replaced by Sid Vicious (born John Richie) in early 1977. Under the management of Malcolm McLaren, the band gained widespread attention from British press after swearing live on-air during a December 1976 television interview. Their May 1977 single "God Save the Queen (Sex Pistols song)|God Save the Queen", which described the monarchy as a "fascist regime", was released to coincide with national celebrations for the Elizabeth II|Queen's Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II|Silver Jubilee. The song was promptly banned from being played by the BBC and by nearly every independent radio station in Britain, making it the most censored record in British history. Their sole studio album ''Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols'' (1977) was a UK number one and is regarded as seminal in the development of punk rock. In January 1978, at the final gig of a difficult and media-hyped tour of the US, Rotten announced the band's break-up live on stage. Over the next few months, the three remaining members recorded songs for McLaren's film of the Sex Pistols' story, ''The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle''. Vicious died of a heroin overdose in February 1979 following his arrest for the alleged murder of his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. Rotten, Jones, Cook and Matlock later reunited for a successful tour in 1996.sfn|Pingitore|2023 Further one-off performances and short tours followed over the next decade.
