Description ▲
David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Bryan Ferry and Iggy Pop were the icons that defined the music known as Glam or Glitter Rock. With outrageous getups and cosmetic artistry, they were the gender-bending performers of a movement that was centered in London but electrified the whole world. In the first book of its kind, Barney Hoskyns takes a no-holds-barred tour of a chapter in pop history that influenced countless musicians in the decades that followed. Here is the flamboyant decadence, the androgyny and the sheer unadulterated fun of the early '70s - in an incredible story that tells it like it was.
