Description

From the roar of multiplatinum punk stardom to the quiet aftermath of survival, this soul-baring memoir follows a renowned drummer as he confronts the costs of fame and the hard work of rebuilding a life. Through candid reflections on addiction, marriage, and the relentless momentum of touring, he traces how a near-fatal plane crash—and the grief that followed—forced a reckoning with mortality, loss, and what it means to start again. Centered on music as both refuge and compass, the story also turns toward fatherhood and the search for redemption in the wake of trauma. Written with the urgency and rhythm of a performer’s voice, it blends high-voltage storytelling with intimate emotional honesty, offering readers a powerful meditation on resilience, reinvention, and finding meaning when the beat drops out.
