"Ridiculously funny and astonishingly candid, Rod Stewart's memoir is the rock autobiography of the decade". ("Daily Mail"). "One of the most entertaining, revealing, captivating books of the year". ("Independent"). Rod Stewart was born the working-class son of a Scottish plumber in North London. Despite some early close shaves with a number of diverse career paths, ranging from gravedigging to professional football, it was music that truly captured his heart - and he never looked back. Rod started out in the early 1960s, playing the clubs on London's R&amp;B scene, before his distinctively raspy voice caught the ear of the iconic front man Long John Baldry, who approached him while busking one night on a railway platform. Stints with pioneering acts like the Hoochie Coochie Men, Steampacket, and the Jeff Beck Group soon followed, paving the way into a raucous five years with the Faces, the rock star's rock band, whose offstage antics with alcohol, wrecked hotel rooms and groupies have become the stuff of legend. And during all this, he found a spare moment to write 'Maggie May', among a few others, and launch a solo career that has seen him sell an estimated 200 million records, be inducted into the Hall of Fame twice, and play the world's largest ever concert. Not bad, as he says, for a guy with a frog in his throat. And then, there is his not-so-private life: marriages, divorces and affairs with some of the world's most beautiful women - Bond girls, movie stars and supermodels - and a brush with cancer which very nearly saw it all slip away. Rod's is an incredible life, and here, thrillingly and for the first time, he tells the whole thing, leaving no knickers under the bed. A rollicking rock 'n' roll adventure that is at times deeply moving, this is the remarkable journey of a guy with one hell of a voice - and one hell of a head of hair.

Visste du at Saudi Arabia importerer kameler fra Australia? Eller at det på Spotify ligger 4 millioner sanger som ikke har blitt avspilt en eneste gang? Ikke alle vet at Rod Stewart mistet jobben som tapetdesigner fordi han er fargeblind, eller at Putins bestefar jobbet som kokk for både Lenin og Stalin, og for Rasputin. Etter at George Bush Sr. kastet opp i fanget på Japans statsminister under en statsmiddag i 1992 har det japanske ordet for å spy vært bushusuru. Stephen Fry og teamet bak det populære britiske TV-programmet QI har nok en gang samlet en mengde kuriøs (og som regel svært unyttig) kunnskap - til ellevill begeistring for lesere over hele verden. Som i sine tidligere bøker, redefinerer de begrepet allmennkunnskap og kaster nytt lys over spørsmål som har plaget filosofer, forskere og fulle menn på pub gjennom lange kvelder til alle tider.
