One thing is clear after reading this book: Glenn Hughes is lucky to be alive and even luckier to have all of his faculties intact. This is one book that you will not be able to put down once you pick it up. The book features Glenn telling his tale from beginning to end as well as allowing those close to him to tell their side of the story as well. From his Mother to Deep Purple band mates to friends, Hughes past comes to life.

The story is one filled with tales of rock star excess, pathetic drug addict behavior and missed opportunity. From his rise in Trapeze to his international stardom with Deep Purple to his embarrassing moments with Black Sabbath, Hughes tells it all. He admits to many embarrassing details of a drug addict’s lifestyle as well as being too fucked up to make obvious decisions that affected his career. He allowed the drugs to be more important than the music and his God given talents at times and the result is a true warning to anyone interested in trying drugs for the first time. Glenn even gets honest about a secret relapse and how confessing that mishap will only strengthen his current recovery.

Hughes has an ego, yet he also has the ability to be gut wrenchingly honest with himself, and the reader. He has done it all and lived to tell the tale. And what a tale it is! This is a must read for all fans of rock n’ roll.
