About this product

Product Information

The autobiography of one of Britain's most-loved pop performers. Born in West Ham in 1947, David recalls his childhood living in a hostel for the homeless and his passion for football that led him to play for West Ham United. He recounts hilarious tales of his introduction to music in 1950s Soho, hop-picking with his Gypsy relatives in Kent, buying his first drum kit and playing in blues and jazz bands before he left school. At the age of 23 David was simultaneously the star of a West End hit musical Godspell , had a number one hit record with Rock On and was starring in the massive hit film That'll Be The Day . David recounts the Essex Mania of the time: the money - 12 houses at one time with 100 motorcycles (another passion) - the drugs, and the marriage break-up. He talks candidly about creating the role of Che in EVITA and missing out on Broadway and the film. Then there are the stories of times with Keith Moon, John Lennon, and Richard Burton - the pop stars and the film stars. This is an honest and insightful account of his amazing life written by the man himself.

    Great value for money. Very enjoyable read, written with a lot of humour.

    Loved this book, written with so much humour. I bought it obviously because it was David Essex! What's to dislike? Nothing at all. How can it possibly be compared with others? I now have to get his other book which hopefully will be every bit as good as this one.

    Good book, also was in very good condition

    I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed finding out about his early life and where he came from. It was good to find out how he managed to get to where he is now. I remember a lot from the 70s and on, because that's my era.
