• Coal Mines, Confessions and Dance Halls with Return to the North and The Theatre of Self. This Autobiography is now a trilogy. By Vicky Aram. Vicky Aram was born into the middle of the Great Depression in the 1930s, in a close-knit mining district in England’s North East.

*** By the Sunday Times bestselling author of BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY *** From mod folk artist to flower power pixie elfin to the king of glam rockers, Marc Bolan was the ultimate chameleon. His far-reaching musical and stylistic influence is more relevant today than ever with hits such as 'Ride A White Swan', 'Children Of The Revolution', 'Get It On' and 'Hot Love' as fresh and exhilarating as when first released. At the peak of his popularity during his lifetime Bolan was outselling Jimi Hendrix and The Who, and yet relatively little is really known about the hypnotic, enigmatic 20th century boy turned 21st century icon. At last, in the 35th anniversary year of his tragic death, Marc Bolan repre...
Questo libro raccoglie una serie di storie, raggruppate per tipologia di "crimine", che raccontano le ultime ore di 50 stelle del rock. Piene di leggende e di eccessi, stravaganti, oltraggiose, sconsiderate e rischiose, le vite delle rockstar sono andate spesso oltre le più sfrenate fantasie tipiche di una sceneggiatura hollywoodiana. Purtroppo, anche le loro morti sono state a volta frutto di circostanze drammatiche, di coincidenze incredibili, di eventi imprevedibili. E, quasi sempre, sono rimaste circondate da un alone di mistero che ha dato vita a mille speculazioni. Scritto come un "noir", in modo originale e appassionato, Amore, morte e Rock'n'Roll presenta retroscena, curiosità, aneddoti e tesi alternative, pur documentando il tutto con puntualità e rigore giornalistici.
Maxi Poter (re)descubre a esos músicos a los que el destino les jugó una broma pesada que los dejó en el backstage de la gloria. Los artistas que -por azar, tragedias, desencuentros, traiciones, pifies, pelotas en el palo, confusiones y tropiezos cósmicos- se quedaron viendo la consagración desde afuera. Alguna vez The Police fue un desastroso cuarteto. Los Rolling Stones eran seis, pero a uno lo echaron por "feo". En varios países, los Beatles fueron John, Paul, George y un tal "Jimmie". Kiss tuvo un guitarrista con artrosis y Led Zeppelin casi elige al cantante más desafortunado del mundo. La biografía de los más grandes íconos del rock está llena de ilustres desconocidos que, p...
