Summary

"Dave Stewart's life has been a wild ride, filled with music, constant reinvention, and the never-ending drive to create... Stewart shares the incredible, high-octane stories of his life in music--the drug-fueled adventures, the A-list collaborations and relationships, and the creative process that brought us the blockbusters from Eurythmics... From great friendships and creative partnerships including the group SuperHeavy along with Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Damian Marley, and A.R. Rahman, to inspired performances and intimate moments in the studio, Stewart highlights the musicians he admires and calls friends, from Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks, Elton John, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr to Bono, Bon Jovi, and Katy Perry. With a behind-the-scenes look at Stewart's innovative endeavors that keep him on the cutting-edge of the music business."--Book jacket.
