The incredible story of Peter Frampton's positively resilient life and career told in his own words for the first time.
His monumental album Frampton Comes Alive! spawned three top-twenty singles and sold eight million copies the year it was released (more than seventeen million to date), and it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in January 2020. Frampton was on a path to stardom from an early age, first as the lead singer and guitarist of the Herd and then as cofounder - along with Steve Marriott - of one of the first supergroups, Humble Pie. Frampton was part of a tight-knit collective of British '60s musicians with close ties to the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and the Who. This led to Frampton playing on George Harrison's solo debut, All Things Must Pass, as well as to Ringo Starr and Billy Preston appearing on Frampton's own solo debut. By age twenty-two, Frampton was touring incessantly and finding new sounds with the talk box, which would
become his signature guitar effect. Frampton remembers his enduring friendship with David Bowie. Growing up as schoolmates, crossing paths throughout their careers, and playing together on the Glass Spider Tour, the two developed an unshakable bond. Frampton also shares fascinating stories of his collaborative work with Harry Nilsson, Stevie Wonder, B. B. King, and members of Pearl Jam.
He reveals both the blessing and curse of Frampton Comes Alive!, opening up about becoming the cover boy he never wanted to be, his overcoming substance abuse, and how he has continued to play and pour his heart into his music despite an inflammatory muscle disease and his retirement from the road. Peppered throughout his narrative is the story of his favorite guitar, the Phenix, which he thought he'd lost in a fiery plane crash in 1980. But in 2011, it mysteriously showed up again - saved from the wreckage.
Frampton tells of that unlikely reunion here in full for the first time, and why the miraculous reappearance is emblematic of his life and career as a quintessential artist.
Peter Frampton Forgets The Words is the brand new 10-track instrumental album from the Peter Frampton Band. The album includes instrumental covers of tracks from Radiohead ("Reckoner"), David Bowie ("Loving The Alien"), Lenny Kravitz ("Are You Gonna Go My Way"), and 7 other stunning tracks and is being released on the heels of Peter Frampton's successful memoir Do You Feel Like I Do?

"What a beautiful book...a great presentation and wonderful insight
into these historic guitars." -Nils Lofgren on 108 Rock Star
Guitars From the photographer of the critically acclaimed 108 Rock
Star Guitars comes a new collection of guitar photos, including
B.B. King, Kurt Cobain, and Prince as well as more than one hundred
legendary rock icons. Lisa S. Johnson's journey into the world of
rock and roll photography began more than seventeen years ago when
she photographed the legendary Les Paul and his beloved Gibson
during one of his famed sets at the Iridium Club in New York City.
Ever since then, Johnson has had access to legendary rock icons
around the globe, all of whom have shared some of their most
intimate and treasured secrets: the guitars that they have loved
and cherished. When 108 Guitars was published in 2013, Johnson hit
a winning formula, igniting praise from critics and musicians alike
with glowing reviews in USA Today, Associated Press, Guitar Player
as well as effusive praise from noted musicians such as Slash, Nils
Lofgren and Ian Hunter. Now, in Immortal Guitars, Johnson focuses
on more than a hundred new musicians, a list of heavy-weight guitar
aficionados who will not disappoint any guitar lover, including
Dave Grohl, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, Lita Ford, Prince,
Eddie Van Halen, and BB King, to name a few.
