Book excerpt: Famous for his classic hit 'Be-Bop-A-Lula,' Gene Vincent was one of the most influential rock 'n' roll artists of all time. This is the first American biography written of this rock pioneer and the most comprehensive account of his career and turbulent personal life. Adored by British and European fans, Gene Vincent moved to the UK in 1959 where his leather-clad, street-tough persona met with instant acclaim. The survivor of the crash that killed Eddie Cochran, his closest friend, he was to die himself at just 36, a victim of torment and tragedy. Illustrated.

Book excerpt: Gene Vincent was the original and legendary black-leather bad-boy of rock 'n' roll. His records were banned and censored, his live shows incited riots, he wrecked hotel rooms while Keith Moon was still a schoolboy. His private life was a combat zone of booze, pills, guns, and women, and he ultimately died for the blue jean bop. Without him there would have been no Jim Morrison, no Sid, no Marilyn Manson, and even Elvis would have struggled. And that's why Gene Vincent is still remembered and celebrated thirty years after he should have been dead and gone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Kingdom had never seen anything like it, as two rock'n'roll legends rampaged around the country on Britain's first-ever rock tour. Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran lived the rock'n'roll lifestyle to the full, bringing to an end the monochrome 1950s and ushering in the swinging 60s. John Collis has traced the story of the UK tour that was a defining moment in British popular culture to its tragic climax with the death of Eddie Cochran. He looks back on the contrasting backgrounds of the two stars, follows the tale onwards to Gene Vincent's death from alcohol and drug abuse, and examines the lasting legacy of their music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bible of music's deceased idols—Jeff Buckley, Sid Vicious, Jimi Hendrix, Tupac, Elvis—this is the ultimate record of all those who arrived, rocked, and checked out over the last 40-odd years of fast cars, private jets, hard drugs, and reckless living. The truths behind thousands of fascinating stories—such as how Buddy Holly only decided to fly so he'd have time to finish his laundry—are coupled with perennial questions, including Which band boasts the most dead members? and Who had the bright idea of changing a light bulb while standing in the shower?, as well as a few tales of lesser-known rock tragedies. Updated to include all the rock deaths since the previous edition—including Ike Turner, Dan Fogelberg, Bo Diddley, Isaac Hayes, Eartha Kitt, Michael Jackson, Clarence Clemons, Amy Winehouse, and many, many more—this new edition has been comprehensively revised throughout. An indispensable reference full of useful and useless information, with hundreds of photos of the good, the bad, and the silly, this collection is guaranteed to rock the world of trivia buffs and diehards alike.
