I’m one of his biggest fans! Bono, U2
When legendary music journalist Billy Sloan was 15 he saw The Who play an incendiary live show at Green's Playhouse in Glasgow. It was the beginning of a lifelong love affair with music. Just a few years later he was backstage interviewing the likes of Keith Richards and David Bowie, at the height of Ziggy-mania.
In One Love, One Life, Billy tells his stories of the stars, from skipping Christmas dinner to see the notorious Sex Pistols to adventures with some of music's biggest names. There's Grace Jones in the bath, candid conversations with Rod Stewart, football in Brazil with Simple Minds, a tour of the White House with Paolo Nutini and close encounters with U2. Plus, the interviews that definitely didn't go as planned.
Brilliantly entertaining and searingly honest, One Love, One Life is an incredible insight into the stars we love and an unmissable backstage pass for music fans everywhere.
