Dave Davies, legendary lead guitarist of The Kinks, was promotoing his new solo album at the BBC when he was taken seriously ill. Lying in hospital, for the first time in years he was afforded the time to reflect on a career that's spanned half a century. In this brand new autobiography, Davies looks back on the epoch-defining band that's sold fifty million records. There were the spectacular highs of rockstardom - the excess that comes when booze and any drug imaginable is on tap. But lows were never far away - the shy kid from Muswell Hill struggled with the limelight just as much as he relished it, and he was visited by his fair share of tragedy. Full of tales of the tumultuous times and ups-and-downs of his infamous relationship with brother Ray, along with frequently dramatic and hilarious encounters with the likes of John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, Chrissie Hynde and Jeff Beck, as well as detours into Dave's mystical side, this all makes for a thrilling and wildly entertaining journey through the heyday of rock 'n' roll and beyond.
