Features & Highlights

  • The amazing life of Madness frontman Suggs
  • Suggs is one of pop music's most enduring and likeable figures. Written with the assured style and wit of a natural raconteur, this hugely entertaining and insightful autobiography takes you from his colorful early life on a North London council estate, through the heady early days of Punk and 2-Tone, to the 1980s, where Madness became the biggest selling singles band of the decade. Along the way he tells you what it's like to go globetrotting with your best friends, to sign away your entire song rights "in perpetuity," and to cause an earthquake in Finsbury Park.
