Sex & Drugs & Rock 'N' Roll

The Life Of Ian Dury

About this book

Dury always met life head on, both in his relationships and in his music. As rocker, lyricist, artist and actor he was unsentimental and uncompromising. As a man he was harder to fathom – until now. This acclaimed biography shines a light on it all, chronicling his darker moments as well as his triumphs.Author Richard Balls talked to more than fifty of Dury's friends, as well as to Dury himself shortly before his death. This remastered edition includes the continuing success of The Blockheads and tells the inside story of the biopic Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, a foreword by Martin Freeman and an afterword from Andy Serkis.There are vivid insights into harsh post-war schools for disabled children, the fifties art school scene and the ramshackle pub rock circuit, plus a mixed bag of celebrities from Peter Blake to Omar Sharif.
