Non-Fiction Memoir
John Taylor, Duran Duran’s co-founder, takes the reader
on a wild ride through his life. From the eighties through
today, from Rio to All You Need is Now, John writes about
the music, the parties, and the MTV videos that made
millions swoon.
With Duran Duran, John Taylor
has created some of the greatest music of our time. From the
disco dazzle of debut single ‘Planet Earth’ right up to
their latest number one album, All You Need is Now, Duran
Duran has always had the power to sweep the world onto its
feet.
It’s been a ride – and for John in particular,
the ride has been wild, thrilling... and dangerous. Now, for
the first time, he tells his incredible story. A tale of
dreams fulfilled, lessons learned and demons
conquered.
A shy only child, Nigel John Taylor
wasn’t an obvious candidate for pop stardom and frenzied
girl panic. But when he ditched his first name and picked up
a bass guitar, everything changed. John Formed Duran Duran
with his friend Nick Rhodes in the summer of 1978, and they
were soon joined by Roger Taylor, then Andy Taylor and
finally Simon Le Bon. Together they were an immediate,
massive global success story, their pictures on millions of
walls, every single a worldwide hit.
In his frank,
compelling autobiography, John recounts the highs –hanging
out with icons like Bowie, Warhol and even James Bond;
dating Vogue models and driving fast cars – all the while
playing hard with the band he loved. But there were tough
battles ahead – troubles that brought him to the brink of
self-destruction – before turning his life around.
Told with humor, honesty and hard-won wisdom, and packed
with exclusive pictures, In the Pleasure Groove is a
fascinating, irresistible portrait of a man who danced into
the fire... and came through the other side.
