About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'In the Spring of 1989, shortly after my twenty-seventh birthday, as I stood in the sleet at a bus stop in Colchester, it dawned on me that I had probably, all things considered, failed in my mission to become Sting. At least, for the time being.'

Lost in Music is about growing up with pop music - about hearing it, buying it, loving it, and attempting to play it in public for money. A brilliant combination of the confessional and the unapologetic, this is a book for anyone who has ever treasured vinyl, or sung into a roll-on deodorant in front of the bedroom mirror and dreamed of playing Wembley.

'A wonderfully funny pop-music memoir... You don't have to know who Nik Kershaw is to laugh out loud at the chapter about him.' Sebastian Faulks, Spectator

'One of the best books about music.' Daily Telegraph
