Description
This fully illustrated book celebrates the captivating lives of legendary figures who revolutionised music, from Elvis and Hendrix to Bowie and Jagger. Authored by music journalist Kathy McCabe and featuring stunning images from renowned rock photographer Tony Mott, this book makes the perfect gift for any rock music enthusiast.
Their songs are etched on our collective memory; their onstage - and offstage - performances electrified us. From Elvis to Kurt Cobain and Johnny Cash to Jimmy Hendrix; from Elvis Presley and John Lennon to David Bowie and Prince, these are the greatest showmen and most influential songwriters of the rock era.
Their biographies share the compelling and often fraught paths to stardom on the world stage and why they continue to inspire millions of fans and aspiring musicians. Music journalist Kathy McCabe delves into the forces that forged these giants' attitudes to life, their music, and their lasting impact on the world.
Whether solo performers like David Bowie or in partnerships like that of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, they have channelled their energy and raw talent into a legacy that will outlast them all.

About the Author
AUTHOR LIVES IN BONDI, AUSTRALIA
Daily Telegraph music editor Kathy McCabe has been a professional gig pig since her ex-boyfriend decided to chuck in the music writing business to go backpacking in 1989. Silly boy - she got the job and has kept it ever since with two major detours. The first was to EMI Virgin in 1996 to kick start their local music roster which had been dormant for a couple of years. After signing Alex Lloyd, McCabe decided she was of better use back on the media side of the fence where she could do more to promote and support Australian musicians. And enjoy the occasional chat with an international superstar. After working as the entertainment writer and music editor for the Sunday Telegraph for five years, she returned to her old stomping ground at The Daily Telegraph in 2003.
