The Full Extent Of Sid Vicious’ Health Issues Have Been Disclosed By His Son

The wrestling world is currently mourning the loss of Sid Vicious, who passed away on Monday, aged just 63, following a battle with cancer. And now, more information on the former WWE and WCW star’s health has been shared by his son Gunnar, who has taken the time to share with his Facebook followers the multiple health challenges that Vicious had been dealing with in recent years.

“Sid was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2016 and atrial fibrillation (better known as AFIB) around the same time. He was also given a pacemaker. In April 2021, he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which was linked to roundup weed killer.

Although he never told anyone about his fight against cancer, Sid lived his life to the fullest, attending the gym, boxing classes, making appearances for his fans, and of course t-ball games for the kids. He passed away peacefully in his bed, leaving behind a legacy of strength and determination.”

Vicious broke into the business in the late 80s and became a massive star in the 90s, moving between WCW and WWE multiple times. Notably, this would see him headline WrestleMania twice and Starrcade once, proving his status as a genuine main eventer. And while he is currently not inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, he is considered by most to be a glaring omission.
