Nigel Lived is the first album by the British lead vocalist and actor Murray Head, released in 1973 on CBS Records.
It is a concept album which tells the story of Nigel, a young singer who arrives in London seeking to make a career in the music business. His early optimism gives way to disillusionment, struggle, and finally heroin addiction. The original vinyl release came in an elaborate package, with a lyric sheet featuring pages from Nigel's diary to depict the course of his gradual disintegration.

Side Two ("Failure"):
This album followed Head's appearance as Judas, a leading role on the recording of the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar, and his subsequent 1971 single "Superstar".
His supporting musicians include the Giles brothers of Giles, Giles and Fripp, a group which evolved into King Crimson.
