Summary

Money, freedom, adoring fans: professional musicians seem to have it all. But beneath the surface lies a frightening truth... In Bodies, Ian Winwood explores the music industry's reluctance to confront its many failures. A music journalist for more than twenty-five years, his far-reaching, globe-trotting story features first-hand acceess to artists such as Foo Fighters, Green Day, Trent Reznor, Biffy Clyro, Muse, Frank Turner, Kings of Leon, Frightened Rabbit, Chris Cornell, Mark Lanegan, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam and many others. Much more than a touchline reporter, Winwood also tells the tale of his own mental-health collapse, following the shocking death of his father, during which extinction-level behaviour was given perfect cover by a reckless industry. Written with warmth, humour and bracing honesty, Bodies is both a deeply personal story and an essential read for musicians and fans alike
