Artist: Marriott, Steve Author: Hewitt, Paolo and Hellier, John
REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION INCLUDING TWO FASCINATING NEW CHAPTERS - ORDER HERE Revised and updated edition of the acclaimed bestselling account of the Small Faces and Humble Pie mainman. The story of Steve Marriott is almost too awful to be true. Born in London's East End, he went from being fed jellied eels in his pram to teenage stardom as the lead singer of one of the most popular groups of the sixties, The Small Faces. After that there was success in America with his band Humble Pie and all the drink and drugs he could consume, three marriages and countless girlfriends and groupies and ever increasing penury. At the end he was to die at 44 years old, if not penniless, poor, having generated millions for other people, burned to death in a fire at his home.
