Synopsis
Rick Wakeman is one of the most gifted keyboard players of his generation, as at home on stage at a rock concert as in the organ lift of a great cathedral. He is known these days for his TV appearances on Grumpy Old Men and Countdown and for his hugely popular Saturday morning radio show on Planet Rock — enjoyed by some 5 million listeners worldwide. He also presents television shows and writes hymns. What’s more, he is also a great raconteur.
Grumpy Old RockStar is a collection of previously untold stories from his amazing life: from touring in a white van in the early Sixties to buying an American football team with the Mafia; his drinking days — two bottles of vodka before lunch — and how he ended up with the earth from around Che Guevara’s body in his shed (given to him by his old friend and Yes fan, Fidel Castro).

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Around about August 1948, Mr and Mrs Cyril Wakeman had an early night and some time later, at Perivale in Middlesex, Mrs Wakeman produced a bonny baby son. They named him Richard, but he quickly became known as Rick. Rick was a likable little fellow who had a talent for the piano and for making trouble, and music became Rick's life. Later he joined a popular music group called Yes and became a legend. Much later he became a Grumpy Old Man who appears on "Countdown", hosts a hugely popular radio show on Planet Rock and performs a one-man show telling stories about his rather extraordinary life. Which is where this book you are holding comes in.Mr Wakeman is simply one of the great storytellers of our age - let's face it, he has some fabulous material. It seemed a shame that some of the funniest yarns should not be more widely known. So he accepted some cash and here we are. Curl up by the fire with a "Grumpy Old Rock Star" and your nearest and dearest. We defy you not to want to read it aloud and laugh. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001248017
