Description
John Wobble's memoir, Dark Luminosity, is a frank and fascinating account of his life and career. Born in the East End of London, Wobble recounts his childhood and early days as a musician, including his time as a founding member of Public Image Limited.
From the beginnings of punk and post-punk, Wobble takes the reader on a journey through his illustrious forty-year solo career, marked by collaborations with musical greats such as U2, Brian Eno, and CAN, as well as a Mercury Music Prize nomination. Along the way, he shares stories of navigating chronic alcoholism and marital breakdown, and how he emerged as a national treasure.
Wobble also reveals the origins of his stage name, which was given to him by his teenage friend Sid Vicious when he was drunk and slurred his real name, John Wardle. This memoir is a unique and compelling look at the life of one of the most influential bass players of his generation.
