Grumpy Old Rock Star

Zusatztext

<p>Around about August 1948, Mr and Mrs Cyril Wakeman had an early night and some time later, at Perivale in Middlesex, Mrs Wakeman produced a bonny baby son. They named him Richard, but he quickly became known as Rick.</p><p>Rick was a likeable little fellow who had a talent for the piano and for making trouble. Music became Rick's life - he joined a popular music group called Yes and became a legend. Much later he became a Grumpy Old Man who appears on<i>Countdown</i>, hosts a hugely popular radio show on Planet Rock and performs a one-man show telling stories about his rather extraordinary life.</p><p>Which is where this book you are holding comes in. Mr Wakeman is simply one of the great storytellers of our age - let's face it, he has some fabulous material. It seemed a shame that some of the funniest yarns should not be more widely known. So he accepted some cash and here we are.</p><p>Curl up by the fire with a<i>Grumpy Old Rock Star</i>and your nearest and dearest. We defy you not to want to read it aloud and laugh.</p>

He has also appeared on<i>Top Gear</i>achieving a lamentable lap time of 1.55.26.
