DeadStar by Nick Griffiths

What's it like to reach for the stars, but end up floating in a tin can?

Garth Tyson wanted to be the next David Bowie. He fell short. Waaaay short. Burnt out, he fled the stage at Glastonbury '85, having been pelted with mud, and was never seen again.

You're familiar with the stars of this era: the Adam Ants, Duran Durans and Depeche Modes - musicians who successfully navigated punk and New Wave to become icons.

Bet you've never heard of Garth Tyson - singer, brother, dreamer. Stallholder.

That's why we're here.

Decades after Garth's disappearance, former bandmates, friends, relatives, lovers, music-biz execs and two fans (you try finding more) reunite to tell Garth's compelling, tragicomic tale. Can any shed light on what really happened to him?

Not everyone appears willingly. Here's Garth's 80-year-old mother, Doreen Thyssen: 'I don't like people who dig dirt. Fuck off.' The charmer.

Loved Daisy Jones? Try this perfectly squalid British version.

Nick Griffiths is a journalist and a TV writer with Radio Times and the Daily Mail. He has written for the Guardian, the Sunday Times, and Time Out, and is the author of Dalek I Loved You.
