<p>THE SEQUEL TO THE NUMBER 1 BESTSELLER WORKING CLASS BOY. INCLUDES A NEW AFTERWORD.</p>
<p>From Glaswegian migrant kid to iconic front man, from solo superstar to proud father of his own musical clan, Jimmy Barnes has lived many lives. A decade ago, Jimmy set out to chronicle his legendary rock'n'roll life, writing two bestselling, award-winning and critically acclaimed autobiographies that would lay bare the man behind the legend. <em>Working Class Boy</em> and <em>Working Class Man</em> together established Jimmy as the highest selling Australian memoirist since records began and inspired two live productions and two major documentaries.</p><p>In this sequel to <em>Working Class Boy</em>, Jimmy picks up the story of his life in 1974 as he leaves Adelaide in the back of an old truck with a then unknown band called Cold Chisel. A spellbinding and searingly honest reflection on success, fame and addiction, this self-penned memoir reveals how Jimmy used the fuel of childhood trauma to ignite and propel Australia's greatest rock'n'roll story. But beyond the combustible merry-go-round of fame, drugs and rehab, and across the Cold Chisel, solo and soul years, this is also a story about how it's never too late to try and put things right.</p><p>'[A] compelling, must-read account' - Peter Garrett</p><p>'Brutal honesty and sparkling wit' - Neil Finn</p><p>'Sets a new bar for rock'n'roll survival stories' - Jennifer Byrne</p><p>'What a brave writer' - Lindy Morrison</p><p>'Riveting storytelling' - <em>Sydney Morning Herald</em></p>
