Sick of Being Me by Sean Egan
Sick of Being Me is the alternately exhilarating and harrowing story of guitarist Paul Hazelwood, from his childhood on a London council estate, where he nurtures his dreams of stardom, to his agonising realisation on the cusp of his thirties that talent doesn't necessarily bring success. Egan spurns sensationalism to portray the reality of the life of a struggling musician. Similar authenticity informs the drug scenes, which reveal the touching pain that can be hidden beneath an unpleasant junkie exterior.
Vulnerable, truthful, moving and beautiful, Sick of Being Me is one of the great coming-of-age novels of our time.
Sean Egan has written or edited eighteen books, including works about The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Coronation Street, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tarzan, and Manchester United Football Club. For rock magazines ranging from Classic Rock to Vox, as well as CD sleevenotes for Mercury, Sanctuary, Factory, and others, I've written extensively.
