Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Music legend Rod Stewart takes us on a rollicking journey through his extraordinary life and career in this "action-packed memoir . . . full of bad behavior and enough ex-wives to fill an entire soccer side" (Rolling Stone). "Funny, self-deprecating, and a whole lot less boastful than he could be, Mr. Stewart offers a string of Grade-A rock 'n' roll debauchery stories and . . . makes them charming."--The New York Times With his soulful and singular voice, narrative songwriting, and passionate live performances, Rod Stewart has paved one of the most iconic and successful music careers of all time. He was the charismatic lead singer for the trailblazing rock and roll bands The Jeff Beck Group and The Faces, and as a solo artist, the author of such beloved songs as "Maggie May," "Tonight's the Night," "Hot Legs," "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?," "Young Turks," "Forever Young," and "You Wear It Well." Now after more than five decades in the spotlight, he is finally ready to take a candid and romping look back at his life both on and off the stage. From his humble British roots to his hell-raising years on tour with his bandmates, not forgetting his great loves (including three marriages and eight children) and decades touring the world, Rod delivers a riveting ride through one of rock's most remarkable lives. This is the unforgettable journey of a guy with one hell of a voice--and one hell of a head of hair.
