Bodies - Life and Death in Music

A DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR AN IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR ''Genuinely eye-popping.'' Guardian '' Electrifying. '' Kerrang ''Essential.'' Classic Rock ''Required reading.'' Irish Times The must-read music book of the year, now with a brand new chapter covering the death of Taylor Hawkins and his massive Wembley memorial concert. In Bodies , author Ian Winwood explores the music industry''s many failures, from addiction and mental health issues to its ongoing exploitation of artists. Much more than a touchline reporter, Winwood also tells the story of his own mental health collapse, following the shocking death of his father, in which extinction-level behaviour was given perfect cover by a reckless industry. ''This is such a shrewd, funny, psychologically perceptive, frank, well-written, jawdropping book . Absolutely buy and read the hell out of this.'' DAVID STUBBS ''Winwood makes a compelling argument and overturns some long-held notions about "rock and roll excess" by deftly tying together a vast amount of information . . . and liberally lacing it with dark, self-deprecating humour.'' ALEXIS PETRIDIS
