Description
"A veteran manager of groups like the Yardbirds, Napier-Bell was just about ready to retire when Wham! fell into his lap...those interested in what goes on backstage and behind the scenes will find Napier-Bell's stories worthwhile and entertaining." -Publishers WeeklyA gossipy, rollicking music memoir about bringing Wham! to communist China in the ‘80’s—now, in paperbackLondon, 1983.
Pop impresario Simon Napier-Bell has had enough. Tired of managing groups, and sick of the constant grief at home, with his two ex-boyfriends bickering and bleeding him dry, he’s ready to give up the music business for good.
But before he gets the chance, he falls in love with a new passion: a dynamic young duo, George and Andrew, jointly called Wham!. Soon, he finds himself offering to arrange for Wham! to be the first-ever Western pop group to play in communist China – a masterstroke of publicity which, in one swift move, would make them one of the biggest groups on the planet. What follows is an exciting and unpredictable globe-trotting adventure in the company of a cast of petulant pop stars, shady businessmen and a confusion of spies, students and officials, as Napier-Bell edges closer to inadvertently becoming one of the first Westerners to break down the walls of communist China. As one reviewer put it, “some of it reads like a big, gay Bond thriller.â€
