Description
The Stone Roses War and Peace by Simon Spence is a comprehensive biography that delves into the story of one of Britain's most iconic bands. Based on 400 hours of interviews with over seventy associates, including six former band members, this book provides an in-depth look at the band's genesis, rise to fame, and spectacular downfall. From their debut album and single 'Fools Gold' in 1989, which catapulted them as the most exciting British export since the Sex Pistols, to their infamous manager Gareth Evans and legendary gigs like Spike Island in 1990, War and Peace sheds light on the band's turbulent history. With 40 unseen photos, including those by renowned rock photographer Dennis Morris, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the story behind The Stone Roses. With its fresh writing style and steely precision, War and Peace offers a no-holds-barred account of the group's ascent, heyday, and implosion. This updated final chapter covers the reunion rollercoaster ride, bringing the story up to date.
