Bring it on Home is a celebration, a cautionary tale and a
compelling human drama. Written with the full co-operation of the
Grant family and with access to Grant's private correspondence,
business contracts and photographs, this biography features
interviews with the three surviving members of Led Zeppelin, and
examines Grant's remarkably close (and some suggest unhealthy)
relationship with Jimmy Page, his troubled relationship with Robert
Plant and his great friendship with the late drummer John Bonham.
Stories about how Grant intimidated the producers of The Song
Remains the Same and the drug-related excess surrounding Swan Song
Records and Grant's relationship with John Bindon and his extended
coterie of Kings Road criminals are told with great candour, while
the details of a plot to kidnap Led Zeppelin's band members'
children by Jamaican gangsters are revealed for the first time. It
also tells the dramatic and bleakly humorous family story of how
Grant's estranged wife, and two children, Helen and Warren, dealt
with this unusual and often tumultuous life. Warren Grant
discusses, with unflinching honesty, an often-dangerous adolescence
spent with a drug-addicted father, surrounded by groupies and
dealers, in a house filled with shotguns. The narrative also
features walk-on parts from Bob Dylan, Stanley Kubrick, Freddie
Mercury, Elizabeth Taylor, Keith Moon, Elvis Presley, Elvis's
father Vernon and Pope John XIII. As Warren Grant says now: 'My dad
knew everyone'.
