You've recorded the album, toured the world, and all of the fans
have left the venues. Where can the rock star now turn for
sanctuary? With stadium size egos to placate, how does the rock
star relax in their household? From Keith Moon's stately home to
George Harrison's Buddhist retreat, Sinatra's chic apartment to
Elton John's crash pad, how do the homes of the rock stars reflect
their personalities and idiosyncrasies? This picture led book takes
you through the keyhole of the abode's of our biggest stars.
Peter Gabriel rose to fame as the lead vocalist and flautist of the
progressive rock group Genesis. After leaving Genesis, Gabriel went
on to a successful solo career. His 1986 album, So, is his most
commercially successful, and the album's biggest hit, Sledgehammer,
won a record nine MTV Awards. He has also been involved in various
humanitarian efforts and won numerous music awards throughout his
career, including Brits and Grammies and was inducted into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010. Includes
hours of new interviews with key friends, musicians and aides. This
new edition is fully updated.
With their era-defining music and instantly recognisable look,
Chic's reputation as pioneers of disco has endured long after the
movement itself. After their initial success in the 1970s with
classics such as `Good Times', `Le Freak' and `I Want Your Love',
Chic disbanded in 1983, with founding members Nile Rodgers and
Bernard Edwards becoming in-demand producers. After Edwards' tragic
early passing in 1996, Nile Rodgers' involvement in Daft Punk's
2013's smash hit `Get Lucky' catapulted Chic back to international
acclaim. And now, from curating Meltdown in 2019 to headlining
festivals all over the world, Nile Rodgers and Chic have arguably
never been more popular. Covering the sweet successes and fallings
out of favour, the creative process and encounters with Jimi
Hendrix, David Bowie, Diana Ross, Madonna and others, the acclaimed
Everybody Dance explores the highs and the lows of Chic's journey
in fascinating detail. With a new foreword by Duran Duran founding
member John Taylor and a host of new interviews with Nile Rodgers,
Johnny Mathis and many others, to add to those with Ahmet Ertegun,
Bryan Ferry and David Bowie, this edition bring their enthralling
journey up to date. A must-read for any disco fan, Everybody Dance:
Chic and the Politics of Disco is the essential story of the
legendary band who still get us lost in music, over four decades
on.
