The book that fans of the Skids and Big Country had been waiting for, this is a critical perspective not only of Stuart Adamson’s music and its wider cultural influences, but also the excesses of fame and how the music business really works.
It tells the story of how a teenager raised in a small Fife village released his first single at 19, wrote three Top 40 albums in the next three years, was written off as a has-been at 23, but then went on to form a new band, sell millions of records worldwide and tour with the Rolling Stones and David Bowie.
Although he was one of the most popular figures in the music industry at the time, Adamson’s life was complex; it was cut tragically short with his suicide in Hawaii in December 2001 after he had been reported missing by his family.
