The story of Status Quo is essentially the story of two people: Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt. It is the story of two outwardly very different characters--Rossi, the moody insecure one, and Parfitt, the smiling, permanently at ease golden boy--who forged an unlikely yet enduring bond that would see them through the dizzying highs and terrifying lows of a forty-year career. Now they are prepared to tell it all--the groupies, the drug-taking, the marriage breakdowns, and Parfitt's brush with death when he was forced to undergo bypass surgery.
Status Quo have undoubtedly earned their place in rock history. They had 58 British hit singles - more than any other band, and more hit albums in the UK charts than any other group except the Rolling Stones. This book features personal and professional photographs of the band taken between 1966 and 2005.

From humble beginnings as a 1970s motoring show, Top Gear has gone on to achieve diesel-powered world domination. After Clarkson and producer Andy Wilman successfully pitched a new format to BBC bosses, Top Gear returned to become the irreverent, funny and often controversial show we now know and love. The Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, the Cool Wall and Power Laps by the mysterious Stig have all become staples of Britain's favourite Sunday evening entertainment. Recent series have been defined by their madcap challenges such as driving across Africa in clapped-out bangers - with predictably hilarious results. However, the show's most shocking moment came in 2006, when Hammond suffered serious head injuries while driving a Vampire turbojet drag racing car at over 300mph. Clarkson, Hammond and May; they are the politically-incorrect-joking, stone-washed-denim-wearing, bloke-hero trio for the modern(ish) age. This brilliant, detailed book is fitting tribute to the show, its presenters and its most memorable moments.
