Nancy Spungen
Tragically, Nancy Spungen’s life ended at 20 years old from a stabbing in her hotel room. Many were concerned because she self medicated for her schizophrenia with drugs. At one point, she even resorted to prostituting herself for money. As far as rockers go, she hung around Aerosmith, The New York Dolls and The Ramones. She famously dated Sid Vicious from the Sex Pistols and even moved all the way to London to be fully immersed in the punk rock world. We only wish her time as a groupie resulted in a better outcome. Taken too soon, RIP Nancy.

Marianne Faithfull
We have Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog to thank for discovering Marianna Faithfull. This British singer made it to the spotlight for her own music and relations with rockers. Probably the most iconic would be her years dating Mick Jagger. In addition, she got involved with other rockers and even other Rolling Stones bandmates. Again, it was not just hanging out as a groupie that rocketed her to fame, she also had a successful singing career.
