Pop legend Lulu looks back over her astonishing life with fresh eyes, reflecting on all she has learnt and still has to learn. From the tenements of Glasgow to the Royal Albert Hall and the glittering lights of Hollywood: Lulu’s journey to fame and fortune is like no other British pop star.

She wants to tell you about that journey to fame: what it gave her and what it cost her. She wants to talk about growing up in a time that claimed to be liberated, the mistakes she made and the scars she still carries. She wants us all to see the joy that can lie in beating your demons and recovering from addiction, and she wants to show us how much lies ahead.

Description

Pop legend Lulu looks back over her astonishing life with fresh eyes, reflecting on all she has learnt.

From the tenements of Glasgow to the Royal Albert Hall and the glittering lights of Hollywood: Lulu’s journey to fame and fortune is like no other British pop star. When she was 14 years old, she was invited down to London to sing, and the rest is history. She stepped into a part she played for the next 40 years. A part she played so well that she gradually lost who she was, becoming the version of herself she thought others wanted to see.

The book charts the highs and the lows of one of the longest running shows in British rock and roll history. It is the story of one woman’s determination to stay real, relevant and happy, and one which ultimately reveals a woman who is far stronger and far braver than anyone knew.

This is a pop memoir like no other.
