Summary

'Finally， a book about the music industry that tells the truth 。。。 a visceral examination of art， drugs， mental health and music。' FRANK TURNER

Money， freedom， adoring fans: professional musicians seem to have it all。 But beneath the surface lies a frightening truth: for years the music industry has tolerated death， addiction and exploitation in the name of entertainment。

In Bodies， Ian Winwood explores the industry's reluctance to confront its many failures in a far-reaching story which features first-hand access to artists such as Foo Fighters， Green Day， Trent Reznor， Biffy Clyro， Kings of Leon， Chris Cornell， Mark Lanegan， Pearl Jam。 Much more than a touchline reporter， Winwood also tells the tale of his own mental-health collapse following the shocking death of his father。 Written with warmth， humour and bracing honesty， Bodies is a deeply personal story and essential reading for musicians and fans alike。
