Rod Stewart, now into his fourth decade as a singer, remains one of rock music's most enduring icons - his popularity (and phenomenal energy) undimmed by the passing years, as he continues to release chart-topping records and pack out rock stadia all over the world.
This fascinating and detailed new biography of Rod charts his musical progress from street busker in Paris, early forays into folk music, through his wild days (and even wilder nights) as frontman for the Faces, to unparalleled international solo stardom.
The authors also take an intimate and unflinching look at Rod Stewart's relentless pursuit of the rock-star lifestyle - his tearaway enjoyment of a life of fast cars, blondes, booze and football, now finally mellowing into a loving father of five children who performs for the Queen at the Golden Jubilee concert.
Drawing on revealing interviews with Rod himself, mentors like singer Long John Baldry, fellow bandmates like Faces member Ian McLagan, music arranger Jimmy Horowitz, and many of the beautiful blondes who have shared his life (from Dee Harrington and Britt Ekland to more recent partners like Rachel Hunter and Penny Lancaster), the authors present a complete and affectionate portrait of the ultimate rock-star.
