À propos de cet audio

From his early rise to fame to battles with his health, this revelatory memoir by legendary guitarist Peter Frampton celebrates the life of a rock icon.

Do You Feel Like I Do? is the incredible story of Peter Frampton's positively resilient life and career told in his own words for the first time. His monu-mental album Frampton Comes Alive! spawned three top-20 singles and sold eight million copies the year it was released (more than 17 million to date), and it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in January 2020.

Frampton was on a path to stardom from an early age, first as the lead singer and guitarist of the Herd and then as cofounder - along with Steve Marriott - of one of the first supergroups, Humble Pie. Frampton was part of a tight-knit collective of British '60s musicians with close ties to the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and the Who. This led to Frampton playing on George Harrison's solo debut, All Things Must Pass, as well as to Ringo Starr and Billy Preston appearing on Frampton's own solo debut. By age 22, Frampton was touring incessantly and finding new sounds with the talk box, which would become his signature guitar effect.

Frampton remembers his enduring friendship with David Bowie. Growing up as schoolmates, crossing paths throughout their careers, and playing together on the Glass Spider Tour, the two developed an unshakable bond. Frampton also shares fascinating stories of his collaborative work with Harry Nilsson, Stevie Wonder, B. B. King, and members of Pearl Jam. He reveals both the blessing and curse of Frampton Comes Alive!, opening up about becoming the cover boy he never wanted to be, his overcoming substance abuse, and how he has continued to play and pour his heart into his music despite an inflammatory muscle disease and his retirement from the road.

Peppered throughout his narrative is the story of his favorite guitar, the Phenix, which he thought he'd lost in a fiery plane crash in 1980. But in 2011, it mysteriously showed up again - saved from the wreckage. Frampton tells of that unlikely reunion here in full for the first time, and why the miraculous reappearance is emblematic of his life and career as a quintessential artist.

Have recognized that Peter Frampton was "back" for a few years now and was fascinated to hear the story from the man himself. What a story of strength, frailty, and grace. Keep on rocking (etc.) Peter. And yes, sometimes I do feel like you do. That's alright, alright, alright.

Peter Frampton’s memoir, Do You Feel Like I Do?, is more than just the story of a rock star’s rise to fame—it is a deeply personal journey through music, friendship, loss, reinvention, and resilience. Written with the same sincerity and warmth that characterizes his guitar playing, Frampton invites readers into his world without the filters of glamour or nostalgia.

From his early beginnings in England, playing alongside childhood friend David Bowie, to his breakthrough with Frampton Comes Alive!—one of the best-selling live albums in history—Frampton relives both the exhilarating heights and the difficult lows of a life defined by music. What makes this memoir stand out is not the recounting of rock-star excess, but rather his candor about vulnerability: his struggles with financial betrayal, the challenges of fading stardom, and later, his diagnosis of a rare degenerative muscular disease (inclusion body myositis).

The book’s pacing mirrors a concert setlist: moments of electric energy when recounting his triumphs, balanced by quieter, almost acoustic passages where he reflects on family, friendships, and the fragility of time. Particularly moving are his reflections on Bowie, their reconnection during Bowie’s Glass Spider Tour, and how those relationships anchored him even as the spotlight dimmed.

As a storyteller, Frampton shines because he avoids self-pity. Instead, he conveys gratitude—for the fans, for the collaborations, and for the guitar itself, which remains his voice when words fall short. The memoir is not just for those who grew up with “Show Me the Way” or “Baby, I Love Your Way”; it is for anyone who has wrestled with the bittersweet nature of chasing a dream and then redefining it.

Reading Do You Feel Like I Do? feels less like flipping through a rock biography and more like sitting across from Frampton as he tells you his life story with a guitar resting on his knee. It is heartfelt, honest, and surprisingly universal.

Final Thoughts

Frampton’s journey shows that you don’t need a rocket to go “to the moon and back.” Music, love, and resilience can take you just as far.
