They have been dropped by labels, lost band members, had hits and misses, broken-up and reformed, but somehow crossed the rubicon and made it through ‘to the other side’ to have successful independent careers and make some of their best ever songs and albums. The book takes a wider lens to the music industry and explores why artists are not respected enough, despite being the central providers to a growing music industry worth $100 billion a year. Will this ever change?
