I TALK TOO MUCH - FRANCIS ROSSI TASCHENBUCH

'Written with Rossi's unique flair for bracing candour . . . this honesty serves the book
brilliantly  as the stories of Quo  of fame  of disaster and of Rossi and Parfitt are laid out
in frank  stark detail . . . An honest book  essential for fans and great reading for anyone
else' Classic Rock Status Quo have sold over 100 million records worldwide  including 65 hit
singles and 32 hit albums. The legendary band's career has mirrored the evolution of rock
music. From the struggles of the flower-power '60s  the highs of the denim-clad '70s  the coke-
and tequila-induced blur of the '80s  to fighting for musical integrity in the '90s and '00s
and a fresh lease of life from new band members in recent years  Rossi has been there for
entirety of Quo's turbulent history. In I Talk Too Much  Rossi will reveal the truth behind one
of the biggest rock bands of all time  as well as the personal highs and lows of a career
spanning over 50 years. He lifts the lid on the man behind the music - from humble beginnings
in Forest Hill and being labelled a has-been by the press in his twenties to opening Live Aid
in 1985 - and why he's still going strong at seventy. Along the way he has fathered eight
children with three mothers and beaten both alcoholism and cocaine addiction. Rossi comes clean
about the time he almost left the band  what he really thinks about the music industry today
and the complexities of his fifty-year friendship with Rick Parfitt. Painfully honest 
riotously funny and frequently outrageous  I Talk Too Much covers the glory years  the dark
days and the real stories behind the creation of some of the greatest rock music of all time.
