Memoir

From the streets of Liverpool to the pubs of London, from the punk explosion of the mid-seventies to globe-trotting success with his backing group the Attractions and a solo career spanning four decades, Elvis Costello is of one of the most popular and influential singer/songwriters in the history of rock. Famed for his unique voice, his artful lyrics, his genre-hopping musical style and his iconic black-rimmed glasses, this is his full, astonishing story - the drink, the drugs, the sex and the brilliant music and songwriting, from 'Oliver's Army' and 'Pump it up' to 'Watching the Detectives' and 'Shipbuilding'.
