Along-awaited memoir of Blur co-founder guitar legend and visual artist GrahamCoxon.Among the
noise and clamour of the Britpop era Blur co-founder Graham Coxon managed to carve out a niche
to become one of the most innovative and respected guitarists of his generation - but it wasn't
always easy. Graham grew up as an Army kid moving frequently in his early years from West
Germany to Derbyshire and Winchester before settling in Colchester Essex. A shy child he had
a thing for eating soil and drawing intense visions his anxiety was tempered by painting and a
growing love of music. These twin passions grew into obsessions and as he honed his artistic
skill at school Goldsmiths and beyond his band with school friend Damon Albarn fellow
student Alex James and a drummer called Dave Rowntree began to get noticed. But there are
things they don't tell you before you get famous. There are monsters out there. And some may
even be lurking inside yourself. Verse Chorus Monster! is an intimate honest reflection on
music fame addiction and art by one of Britain's most iconic musicians.
