A witty, well-informed collection of fact and anecdote, full of fascinating bits and pieces

—— Uncut

Goddard widens his previous book's mixture of detail and passionate celebration to Morrissey's entire aesthetic universe

—— Dave Hill , The Guardian

An exemplary introduction to a star in the making...excellent at placing the sexuality-stretching Bowie within the context of a decade struggling to find its identity

—— Metro

Part historical commentary, part fanboy's breakdown of every Bowie song from the era

—— The Times

Doggett exhaustively chases Bowie's inspirations and intentions as he morphs from the gender-bending glam rock Ziggy Stardust to the plastic soul-spinning Thin White Duke

—— Daily Telegraph

This book tracks Bowie's ever changing masks and alter egos... [and] helps answer the question that most Bowie fans have asked at one time or another: what the hell is he on about?

—— Irish Times

Doggett is no uncritical fan – his intimate knowledge of the industry lends him a cool eye when assessing the extent of Bowie’s originality… Overall it will leave readers of a certain age yearning for the days when they could throw their homework on the fire and take the car downtown

—— Sally Morris , Daily Mail

Superb

One of the most entertaining, revealing, captivating books of the year

It’s impossible not to warm to him in this account of booze, drugs and blondes…The tales of on-the-road bad behavior…leave nothing to the imagination…his painful admission of how ex-wife Rachel Hunter broke his heart reveal a man happy to wear his heart on his sleeve….And he wears it well…

—— Daily Mail

In Rod Stewart’s raucous, laddish autobiography….his attitude towards women in his life is frequently indefensible but otherwise it’s often laugh-out-load funny

—— Herald

Rod Stewart reveals all in a hilarious and, at times, moving book…A brilliant read—you’ll be hooked.

—— Best

[Rod] has warm good humour and a nice line in self-deprecation...He wears it well—and tells it even better.

—— Daily Mail

By some distance the most entertaining of last year’s...rock star memoirs.

—— Uncut Online

This book takes readers on an adventure, that is at times deeply moving, through the life of one of the UK's greatest singers.

Ruthlessly entertaining
