Broschiertes Buch

Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star

Beschreibung

First published in 1974, Ian Hunter's Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star is an unfiltered chronicle of Mott the Hoople's 1972 US tour that captures the raw energy, chaos, and charm of life on the road in the Seventies. Part memoir, part cultural time capsule, Hunter's diary is brutally honest and irresistibly engaging -- a touchstone in the genre of rock writing. Republished with a new foreword from David Quantick, this Remastered edition invites a fresh generation of readers to relive the highs, lows, and everything in between of a band on the cusp of rock history. Ian Hunter, the charismatic lead singer of Mott the Hoople, has carved a legendary career spanning over five decades, both with the band and as a solo artist. No longer touring but still recording, Hunter proves that the spirit of rock 'n' roll is as enduring as ever.

Ian Hunter Patterson (born 3 June 1939)[1][2][3][nb 1] is an English singer, songwriter and musician. He is best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band Mott the Hoople, from its inception in 1969 to its dissolution in 1974, and at the time of its 2009, 2013, and 2019 reunions. Hunter was a musician and songwriter before joining Mott the Hoople, and continued in this vein after he left the band. He embarked on a solo career despite ill health and disillusionment with commercial success, and often worked in collaboration with Mick Ronson, David Bowie's sideman and arranger from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars period.
