Life changed for Michael Francis at the age of 21 when Paul Mc Cartney walked into his father's boxing gym to watch his friend John Conteh preparing for a fight. Paul hired Michael as his security guard, beginning a thirty-year music business career in which he worked with such legendary names as Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, Gary Numan, Sheena Easton, George Michael, Bon Jovi, Cher and Kiss.
Michael was responsible for every aspect of their safety and their comfort, from making sure they were not mobbed on stage to making sure they got paid. Whatever they wanted, he got hold of. To some of them he became close. He was best man at Jon Bon Jovi's wedding, and provide personal security for Cher at her Malibu home. He shared their wildest excesses, their highs an their lows; he saw their fears and, all too often, their loneliness and paranoia.
Sometimes hilarious, frequently shocking, always perceptive, 'Star Man' is the outrageous, uncompromising and brutally honest story of one man's life with the biggest stars of rock.
