Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star

The original version of Ian Hunter’s Diary of a Rock ’n' Roll Star was a five week tour diary of Mott The Hoople’s US tour in November and December 1972. Published in June 1974, the book became a cult classic that set the gold standard for rock writing. This updated version, published on 27 September 2018 by Omnibus Press, contains bonus content from Hunter in the form of a Japanese diary, a new three page foreword from diehard Ian Hunter fan Johnny Depp, exclusive new photos, and an introduction to writing the diary by official biographer Campbell Devine. A brutally honest chronicle of touring life in the 1970s, in 1996 Q magazine declared Diary of a Rock ’n' Roll Star as ‘the best rock book ever’. The Guardian has since described it as ‘an enduring crystallisation of the rock musician’s lot, and a quietly glorious period piece’. View Less
