Almost 50 years after his lonely death, Hendrix is the abiding symbol of musical genius cut tragically short. Wild Thing will be the first biography to bring together the splendour and sadness of his brief life, and to attempt to unravel the circumstances of his death. Hendrix revolutionised classic rock, inventing a whole new vocabulary for the guitar. Onstage he pushed the boundaries of Sixties permissiveness, fellating the strings of the guitar with his tongue, lying it flat and straddling it, even setting fire to it. Yet in private he was polite, shy and sweet-natured. Norman will explore these contradictions in a narrative that takes us from Hendrix's roots in Seattle to his louche and glamorous life in Mayfair, when London was the world's most 'swinging' capital and then back to the US with the series of historic outdoor rock festivals that rounded out the decade. Wild Thing will be a celebration of matchless artistry, and a gripping chronicle of those now mythical times. But it will also investigate the peculiar conditions of his death, part whodunnit as it tells the most cautionary of rock 'n' roll parables. After all these years of rumour and speculation, Jimi's ghost may finally be laid to rest.

Fast 50 Jahre nach seinem einsamen Tod wird Jimi Hendrix in der ganzen Welt immer noch geliebt und verehrt. Im September 1970 verstarb die Legende in einem schäbigen Londoner Hotelzimmer und hinterließ eines der größten ungelösten Geheimnisse der Rockwelt. Der Starbiograf Philip Norman wird dem musikalischen und politischen Wirken des Ausnahmetalents nachspüren und die noch verborgenen Facetten dieses kurzen Lebens durchleuchten – er erhielt Zugang zu bisher unveröffentlichten Dokumenten und sprach mit bislang stillen Zeugen aus dem engsten Kreis des Musikers. So wird Normans bewegendes Porträt von Hendrix nicht nur zu einer Hommage an den Künstler, sondern auch zu einem spannenden Kriminalstück.

"Commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death, the best-selling author of Shout! delivers a compelling new biography of the legendary guitarist. Celebrated as the most innovative guitarist ever to play, Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) is renowned for symphonic solos and virtuosic picking (sometimes, with his teeth). But, as Philip Norman describes, before Hendrix was setting guitars aflame onstage, he was a shy kid in Seattle, plucking at a broken ukulele and looking out for his father, who chided him for playing left-handed. Interweaving new interviews with friends, lovers, bandmates, and his family, Wild Thing vividly reconstructs Hendrix's remarkable life- from playing in segregated clubs on the Chitlin' Circuit to earning stardom in Swinging London in 1966. For more than four mindboggling years Hendrix found unparalleled success, making historic appearances at Monterey and Woodstock while becoming the highest paid musician of his day, but it all abruptly ended with his tragic death in the sordid basement of a London hotel. Filled with insights into the greatest moments in rock history, Wild Thing reveals the endlessly complex figure behind the unforgettable riffs"-- Provided by publisher

For over 25 years, Philip Norman's Shout! has stood as the definitive biography of the Beatles. Now, he shifts his focus to John Lennon, the Beatle for whom being a Beatle was never enough. Drawing on previously untapped sources and gaining unprecedented access to key figures, Norman presents an exhaustive and revealing portrait of Lennon. This biography offers a fresh perspective on every facet of Lennon's life, including the songs that have elevated him to a near-secular saint status posthumously. After three years of research, Norman uncovers a wealth of new information about well-known episodes in Lennon’s life—his strict upbringing with Aunt Mimi, his so-called wasted school years, the evolution of his creative partnership with Paul McCartney, his intense love affair with a Japanese performance artist, and his explorations in painting, literature, and various therapies. Key informants include Sir Paul McCartney, Sir George Martin, Sean Lennon—who shares poignant memories of his father—and Yoko Ono, who candidly discusses their marriage. Honest and unflinching, Norman presents the complex man, revealing his contradictions—tough yet vulnerable, funny yet naive—while exploring how his early abandonment haunted him throughout his life and music.
