Publisher's Summary

Richard Blade’s autobiography is much more than a spotlight on any one decade. Instead, he gives you a jaw-dropping, uncensored insider’s look into the world of music, movies, and television and its biggest stars, starting in the '60s and continuing through to the new century. Richard takes you on a journey that few have experienced, from his early days as a student at Oxford to the wild, lascivious nights of being a disco DJ touring the clubs of Europe to coming to America and working with Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, and Sarah Jessica Parker and finally breaking through into the LA radio scene and becoming the number one morning drive personality in California. 

From his TV and radio shows to his feature films and live gigs, Richard shares stories that have, until now, remained secret. His unique perspective will take you on the road with Depeche Mode to Australia with Spandau Ballet into the recording studio with Morrissey and onto the main stage at Live Aid with Duran Duran. He opens up about his friendships with Michael Hutchence and George Michael, as well as his passionate love affair with Terri Nunn of Berlin. 

This is a no-holds-barred look at life, sex, and death, set to a pulsing backbeat of music. For the first time, Richard Blade shares his extraordinary story, allowing us to see the world through his eyes.

The audiobook is not only read by Richard Blade but features a full cast of voices of many of the superstar acts featured in Richard's previously untold stories, including Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Spandau Ballet, and Terri Nunn of Berlin.

It is a unique and extraordinary audio experience.

A must read for an 80’s music fan

The real insider to the growth of ‘80’s new wave music, Richard gives an intimate glimpse into the the world in his eyes! Touching and honest, his openness to share his life with the readers is amazing. To hear the personal stories of his life and experiences made me reinvigorate my love of ‘80’s music. A tremendous narrator, hearing his unique radio voice made the story come to life and allows the listener to really hear the joy, sadness and excitement as he tells his story. I only wish there was a few extra chapters :) Can’t wait to catch next one his Sirius XM “1st Wave” radio show! I love Richard Blade, a true radio DJ

Loved this book so much!

One of the best books I’ve read. I love Richards enthusiasm as he retells stories of his past adventures, heartaches, and life’s unexpected.

I felt like a fly on the wall, as I listened to him recount memories from the KROQ studios, and candid times spent with some of the most famous rock stars.

By the time I finished listening to the audio book, I felt such a mixture of emotions.

Most of all, Richards zest for life is infectious. I recommend this book to everyone.
