Description
The Sex Pistols' American tour was a pivotal moment in rock history, marked by controversy, chaos, and tragedy. In January 1978, the band embarked on a 12-day journey through the Deep South, leaving a trail of destruction and shock in its wake. This book is a firsthand account of that tumultuous adventure, told by the tour manager and journalist who witnessed it all. With raw, unflinching detail, the authors recreate the band's wild antics, from outrageous behavior to near-riot concerts. The story is also one of loss and tragedy, as the band's early death of Sid Vicious, due to heroin overdose, adds a poignant and humanizing element to the narrative. A sensational and explosive chapter in the history of rock, 12 Days on the Road is a gripping and thought-provoking tale that sheds light on the darker side of rock-and-roll excess.
