Never - The Autobiography

''Fame didn''t actually make me happy. I was an insecure twenty-year-old and being famous made things worse. It was an era all about the way you looked and I still don''t know how I squeezed through. I did enjoy myself for a lot of it, but, at some point, you''re looking in the mirror and going: ''Is this it, then?'' Cliched as this sounds, success is never going to mend something that is broken. You just have to work that out for yourself. And something was a bit broken in me - I think it is with almost everybody who gets on the stage.'' Balancing nostalgia, fresh perspectives and introspection, Never begins with family and unconventional upbringings; journeys through the tumultuous and glamorous world of pop; and takes pause for self-reflection. Never goes beyond the blinding lights of the stage - giving an intimate look at the man behind the hits - and is a portrait of truth, artistic evolution and the astounding power of contentment.
