Summary
Nico, the Velvet Underground’s enigmatic muse, forged a hauntingly beautiful solo career rooted in live performance and raw emotion, culminating in her 1985 album Camera Obscura with John Cale — a reunion of artistic souls. Emerging from a 15-year battle with addiction, she found strength in methadone and exercise, only to tragically die at 49 in 1988 from a head injury in Ibiza.
