About this audiobook
Fame is the worst drug of all
Sid Strange had been something of a punk rock icon in his day. Unfortunately, his day was twenty-five years ago. The former singer-songwriter of English new wave punk band 'Tactical Chunder', had always been a slave to the adulation of fans and the thrill of live audiences. But now, at the age of fifty, he has a shedload of money but no recording contract.
The only remaining clue to his once prestigious talent is a reality TV show that makes the appalling dross on other TV networks look like Oscar-winning material. Worse still, an old enemy is out for revenge, intent on ending the Englishman’s career once and for all.
But then, an old film surfaces with incriminating footage that he can use to his advantage. It could change everything. The only problem is that to get the film, Sid must persuade his old band to get back together, and given that he dumped them twenty-five years ago to go solo, they hate his f***ing guts!
