*** By the Sunday Times bestselling author of BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY ***
'A fascinating insight into one of the greatest artists of our
lifetime.' Evening Standard 'This is a personal friendship in
writing... an endearing and powerful tale of a man who conquered
the entire entertainment industry with his creative force.' Variety
His music thrilled the generation it was written for, and has
entertained and inspired every generation since. HERO: DAVID BOWIE
is an intelligent exploration of the man behind the myths and the
makeup told from the very beginning. Respected music journalist and
biographer Lesley-Ann Jones knew David Jones from the days before
fame, when he was a young musician starting out, frustrated by an
industry that wouldn't give him a break and determined to succeed.
Here she traces the epic journey of the boy from Bromley born into
a troubled background, to his place as one of the greatest stars in
rock history. Jones has interviewed numerous friends and associates
of Bowie, many of whom have never spoken publicly about him before.
Drawing on this new material and meticulous research, the real
story of Bowie's family background is told; the true inspiration
behind the creation of Ziggy Stardust is revealed, and we learn how
his marriage to Angie ended in agony following his comeback from a
near fatal drug addiction. Jones also revisits Bowie's tragic
relationship with his brother and his deep bond with T Rex frontman
Marc Bolan. Bowie's rebellious nature, his many sources of
inspiration and creativity, and his complex, intense personality
are discussed here, creating a unique and compelling portrait of an
extraordinary man. This is Bowie as you've never seen him before.
