Synopsis

Rock music has left a legacy of mind-boggling stories in its wake. We’ve read about The Who’s Keith Moon driving a Rolls Royce into a hotel swimming pool, but far more bizarre tales of on-the-road mayhem have never been widely told. From its roots to pop, punk, indie, new wave, metal, britpop, and beyond, here are some of the weirdest, most outrageous moments in rock history.
