Ariana Grande captured the hearts of a nation with her One Love
Manchester concert. Less than a fortnight after a terrorist killed
twenty-two people at her Manchester show, the petite princess stood
tall at her tribute concert that united and healed a shaken nation.
She was the emotional core of a powerful evening that reminded us
all of music's redemptive power. But who is Ariana Grande? This
candid book traces the US pop star's story from her childhood in
Florida, through her teenage years on Broadway and Nickelodeon, and
on to her gleaming pop career which has seen her described as 'the
new Mariah Carey'. This unauthorized biography tells the songbird's
eventful and inspirational story in full for the first time, and
shows how she became an award-winning, chart-topping pop idol, as
well as an empowering inspiration for a generation of girls. It
reveals that there is more to Ariana than the celebrity we all
think we know, explaining how her smooth transition from a
squeaky-clean teenage pop product to a sophisticated, bold artist
was powered by a restless and resilient personality. A must read
for all her fans, this is a full, unflinching portrait of a pop
sensation and inspiring, uncompromising woman - the small, sassy
girl with the ponytail who conquered the world.
This in-depth biography details Harry's life so far. From his
childhood and his journey to fame on the X-Factor to releasing
incredibly successful solo music and becoming a fashion icon, this
book gets you closer to Harry than ever before. From the start of
his career we follow the roller coaster of emotions as One
Direction broke up, and we learn how Harry reinvented himself. Free
from the shackles of being in a boyband he was able to be the rock
star he had always dreamed of being and conquer the US by himself.
Not content with being one of the world's biggest popstars, Harry
has also cultivated a career as a film star, kicking off with a
starring role in box-office hits like Dunkirk before going on to
become a member of the iconic Marvel universe and, in 2022, taking
the lead in My Policeman and Don’t Worry Darling. Now, as
universally acknowledged fashion royalty, he has hosted the Met
Gala with Serena Williams and Lady Gaga and regularly models for
Gucci. In 2021 he released his beauty brand, Pleasing, and he has
even partnered with the meditation app Calm to record a story
designed to help listeners drift off. His new album Harry’s House
soared to the top of the charts in both the UK and the US, and his
2022 tour 'Love on Tour' has sold out globally. In short, his
phenomenal success shows no signs of slowing down. Get to know the
iconic singer in greater depth with this book that gets you to the
heart of a very modern pop star – a must read for all of Harry's
fans. Also available: Ariana: The Biography (9781782439745) Adele:

120 million records sold. The world’s biggest selling album of
the twenty-first century. Countless awards and accolades. Adele has
captured the hearts of millions and this intimate biography tells
the astonishing journey of the Queen of Pop. The trademark
authenticity of Adele’s songs has been hard earned: she was
raised by a single mother and has been tested by bereavements and a
string of break-ups. Just when she seemed to have left the pain
behind, a harrowing divorce and a career-threatening throat injury
brought new darkness and doubt to her doorstep. This book takes you
behind the scenes of her highs, her lows and everything in between.
Separating the myths from the truth, it examines the real Adele: a
shrewd and ambitious star who approaches her career with an iconic
blend of tradition and innovation. The superstar is back in the
spotlight with a new album and a fresh look. But will Adele ever
find happiness, or will she always be followed by what she calls
her ‘very dark side’?
She has sold more than 150 million albums, wowed sell-out audiences
around the globe and starred in iconic music videos but Britney
Spears' success has come with an unbearable price tag. This
biography uncovers the story of how this church-going girl from the
Deep South became an objectified teenage sensation and the princess
of pop. It follows her rollercoaster existence from the top of the
charts to the despair of a very public mental health crisis. Go
behind the scenes of Britney's battle to free herself from her
notorious conservatorship and the impact it had on this highly
talented but fragile woman, whose cultural and social influence is
fast approaching that of Marilyn Monroe. This book lifts the lid on
the controversies that have plagued her life, covers her romances
and celebrates her many remarkable triumphs. Along the way, we
learn much about show-business and society itself. As she enters
her fifth decade in the relentless glare of the spotlight, this is
a compelling and intimate portrait of the real Britney and brings
her story up to date, revealing what will come next for this
fascinating star, who has perfected the art of reinvention.
