Description
The Living Years by Mike Rutherford tells the story of his life and career as one half of the iconic duo Genesis. Born into a naval officer's family, Michael Rutherford was raised with discipline and duty, but it was rock music that ultimately shaped his destiny. From humble beginnings to international fame, Rutherford recounts the highs and lows of his journey, including the early days of Genesis as a school band, the triumphs of their progressive rock sound, and the excesses of the 1970s music scene. Alongside his bandmates Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, Rutherford achieved record sales of over 150 million and became one of the most successful musicians of all time. This memoir offers more than just a rock 'n' roll story - it's a personal and introspective account of Rutherford's life, exploring the tensions between discipline and creativity, and the enduring power of music to shape our lives.
