Product Information

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'THE ROCK 'N' ROLL AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Essential for fans and great reading for anyone else' Classic Rock Break-ups, make-ups, groupies, band politics, court battles, the tragic death of Rick Parfitt . . . This is Francis Rossi as you have never seen him before. Status Quo have sold over 100 million records worldwide, including 65 hit singles and 32 hit albums. The legendary band's career has mirrored the evolution of rock music. From the struggles of the flower-power '60s, the highs of the denim-clad '70s, the coke- and tequila-induced blur of the '80s, to fighting for musical integrity in the '90s and '00s and a fresh lease of life from new band members in recent years, Rossi has been there for the entirety of Quo's turbulent history. In I Talk Too Much, Rossi will reveal the truth behind one of the biggest rock bands of all time, as well as the personal highs and lows of a career spanning over 50 years. He lifts the lid on the man behind the music - from humble beginnings in Forest Hill and being labelled a has-been by the press in his twenties to opening Live Aid in 1985 - and why he's still going strong at seventy. Along the way he has fathered eight children with three mothers and beaten both alcoholism and cocaine addiction. Rossi comes clean about the time he almost left the band, what he really thinks about the music industry today and the complexities of his fifty-year friendship with Rick Parfitt. Painfully honest, riotously funny and frequently outrageous, I Talk Too Much covers the glory years, the dark days and the real stories behind the creation of some of the greatest rock music of all time.

Relevanteste Rezensionen

  • Candid recollections of an eventful rock and roll life.

    Recommended for Quo fans only - a fairly uneventful summary of the rise of the band from humble beginnings at Butlins in Minehead, the transition from psychedelic to one of the world's greatest rock and roll bands. Very praiseworthy of other band members with some background to a difficult working relationship with Alan Lancaster. Drummer John Coghlan barely gets a mention. Otherwise a relatively uncontroversial history of the band with a lot of obvious love and empathy for (and frustration with) the great Rick Parfitt. Get the feeling some rock'n'roll anecdotes have been kept under wraps. Clearly the exhaustive drink and drug years took their toll but an interesting and honest read nonetheless.

  • GREAT INSIGHT

    A great insight into Status Quo from their humble beginnings to the present day. I have been a Quo fan since 1968 and have followed their ups and downs but there are some surprising revelations in the book A thoroughly riveting read. Recommended

  • Birthday present

    My partner was delighted when he saw it. Then he was gobsmacked when he saw it was autographed and even more so when he found out it was a first edition. He is absolutely over the moon so a big thank you 😁
