'This nuanced memoir is not your standard pop star autobiography' i 'I hadnt been very comfortable with fame, but I didnt know what to do with myself after I was famous.

Time out of the industry offered Rick room for much-needed reflection and therapy and unknowingly helped to set the stage for his triumphant return to music. Balancing nostalgia, fresh perspectives and introspection, with a good dose of northern humour, Never is an intimate look at the man behind the hits and is a portrait of truth, artistic evolution and the astounding power of contentment. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
