Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star (a first printing thus)

Foreword by Johnny Depp.

Long acclaimed as one of the best rock books ever written, Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star is Ian Hunter's candid account of Mott the Hoople's five week American tour in November and December 1972.

First published in 1974, it has received a litany of plaudits and been described as what "may well be the best rock book ever" and "an enduring crystallization of the rock musician's lot, and a quietly glorious period piece" from Q and The Guardian.

A brutally honest chronicle of touring life in the Seventies, and a classic of the rock writing genre, Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star remains the gold standard for rock writing.

Newly published to include behind-the-scenes photos, a foreword by actor Johnny Depp, a context-setting introduction from Campbell Devine, an epilogue from Ian Hunter and his 2015 Japanese tour diary for the first time.

Ian Hunter is the lead singer in Mott the Hoople and a successful solo artist in his own right. He continues to record and perform across the world after more than fifty years in rock'n'roll.

Johnny Depp is an American actor and musician
