From the Publisher
He witnessed first-hand the breakup of The Beatles. He protected Madonna during her tempestuous marriage to Sean Penn. He was the right-hand man to Led Zeppelin's notorious manager, Peter Grant. He couriered John Lennon's secret donations to extremist groups. He spent over 35 years as a bodyguard to the stars, and he shares his incredible story in THE FIRST ROCK N ROLL BODYGUARD.
From the Author
"I'm the blueprint for today's celebrity bodyguard. That's right. I pretty much invented the role. In the last four decades, I've worked all around the world. Any pop group went to Number One, I'd be their first-choice minder.
I was there at practically every epoch-making moment in rock music history. I was on the roof of Apple's Savile Row offices when The Beatles played. I was in Hyde Park when the Stones played. I was in LA when The Doors played, strutting their stuff at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go, slamming vodka sevens in the Rainbow Room.
My company's Rolodex reads like a rock superstar Who's Who - The Monkees, Frank Sinatra, Led Zeppelin, Dean Martin, Madonna, Cher, Rod Stewart, Tom Jones, Tony Bennett, David Bowie.
Now, I've decided to put it all down on paper. I also wanted to set the record straight about bodyguards. I know most people see us as monkeys. But there's much more to being a good minder than a good right fist. I'm living proof."
