Synopsis
"[Ian Gillan] personifies every trait of epic front man coolness." —Metallica's Lars Ulrich
One of "the year's best rock books" —Loudwire
“An entertaining read from start to finish that captures all of the highs and lows of Ian’s storied career. . . . It’s all covered here with Gillan’s trademark humor and panache. Fans of the MK II lineup of Purple are going to want to add this book to their collection, even if just to get Ian’s perspective on what can arguably be the most prolific and inventive period of the band’s career. Not to mention his perspective on the often volatile relationship with his former guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, as he struggled to work alongside and figure out the thought process and motivations behind the notorious man in black. . . . Ian Gillan is also a master storyteller. He is the true personification of what a rock ’n’ roll front man is supposed to be and as a vocalist he stands alone in rock as a true original who bravely carved out his own path right from the onset.” —Classic Rock Revisited
In the first US edition of his wildly entertaining autobiography, the Deep Purple singer dishes on the highs and lows of his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame career. Ian Gillan details nonstop partying, groupies, drugs, alcohol, friction with guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, and how everything spiraled out of control, ending the band. He continued solo and with Black Sabbath before ultimately reuniting with Deep Purple. The band is releasing its twentieth album and conducting a farewell tour in 2017.
Ian Gillan is the lead singer of Deep Purple.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
