This book is incredibly depressing. I feel so sad for him. I had no idea how much he struggled with addiction. I am amazed he survived and am happy to see how happy and relaxed he seems now. Go John!
I remember in the 80's as a young girl thinking someday I will marry John Taylor. I love seeing those old photos of Duran Duran and John. Such great memories!
I was lucky enough to meet him, backstage, on one of his book readings, in Manchester, 19th Sept 2012, a date I will never forget. He was charming, gracious and very TALL!!!!!
i love how he's able to remove himself almost from the past & look at who that young man was & want to warn him about the dangers he may face, that he does face... he's quite reflective & in touch with his emotional side, which is something you rarely see in a man... it's refreshing & honest. i really am looking very forward to reading the book, it appears that he goes deeper into depth with his story than andy did in his book...
35 year ago, I was too young to understand how amazing were this five boys. John was so cute and charming, I feel so bad for everything he had faced, but now, I'm so happy he survived. You are a survivor and we love you , John!!!
Just passed half way through the book now. Love reading about the early days of the lovely, young hopeful boy full of passion for music, feeling sad about the dark times, but very glad you managed to get through them and you are still here with us and the band. We love having you here. Be well and safe always!
He is so amazing still today, just as he was 30 yrs ago. One of the best bass players ever - it is so fascinating to see this very personal side of him after all this time. I feel 13 again :)
