Take It Like A Man : The Autobiography Paperback / softback

BOY GEORGE'S BESTSELLING AUTOBIOGRAPHY - HONEST, FUNNY, MOVING AND ENTERTAINING'Witty and outrageous, this puts the pop memoir on the map' - Mail on SundayWhen he was a boy growing up in London, the 'pink sheep' of his working-class Irish family, George wanted to be like Shirley Bassey.

As a man, famous for his glamorous, androgenous style as well as for his success as the lead singer of Culture Club, he became a media darling and pop icon. And then came fame, drugs and a spectacular fall from grace. In Take it Like a Man, George tells the story of the crazy highs and desperate lows; the family struggles; the friends and lovers; the despair of withdrawal and the journey back to health and sobriety.

Including his relationship with Culture Club's Jon Moss and friendship with Fat Tony, his hilarious encounters with stars like Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and George Michael, this is a racy, pacy page-turner by a music legend. 'If there's another book that can top it for bitchiness, sex, glamour, fame and heartache, then Jackie Collins must be the author' - Q
