Description

With a string of hits like "Take Me to the River", "Burning the House Down" and "Psycho Killer", and a Hollywood film of their live performances, Talking Heads have achieved the status of rock legends. With access to the original band members, this title offers incident, rock personalities and musical insights. The complex relationship between the band members, in particular Byrne and Tina Weymouth, is also dissected in detail. The author charts the early years, the success and acrimonious break up.

Reviews

'This book is a great gossipy read that all fans will love' UNCUT 'Hard for fans to resist' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'I approached this book with the same attitude I would the new Jackie Collins: it was to be devoured beside the swimming pool like a box of soft centres. I wasn't disappointed' Julie Burchill, GUARDIAN
