The fascinating full autobiography of Will Young - multi-talented singer, actor and the first winner of Pop Idol.
In 2001 Will Young shot to fame as the first winner of Pop Idol. It was clear right from the start that he would never be a typical pop star - and more than ten years later he is still one of our best-loved and most intriguing artists. In his engaging, witty and scrupulously honest autobiography, he tells his remarkable story in his own unique voice.
From his experiences on Pop Idol; to coming out in the glare of the media spotlight; to his valiant struggles against depression; to the hilarious, crazy reality of being famous, Will is open about both the highs and lows of his life. He also provides sound and practical advice on dealing with the DVLA helpline - something that has been woefully neglected by all other celebrity memoirs.
If you have ever wondered what it's like to attend a fashion show (and find yourself accidentally waving at Anna Wintour); or how it feels to stand up to Simon Cowell in front of the whole nation; or find yourself acting next to Dame Judi Dench in your first film role, this book reveals all, and much more. Will Young is not a typical pop star - and his book is a fresh, thought-provoking and entertaining portrait of a true original.
