Thompson Twin by Michael White
In 1982, a week after graduating, Michael White and his fiancee Jan joined the Thompson Twins pop group as they stood on the brink of international fame. But what should have been a fairytale success turned sour when she fell in love with the band's manager and then suffered a nervous breakdown. This is the story of how Michael transformed from an Essex schoolboy-with-guitar into a member of one of the most successful bands of the early 1980s. It is also an insider's tale of life in a pop group and a memoir of the decade that gave us the Filofax, power suits and Reaganomics.
'A funny and moving coming-of-afe tale, recalling a time in which success meant everything and failure meant you were nothing' LIVERPOOL DAILY POST
Michael White is a former science editor of GQ and the author of a dozen books, including the bestsellers STEPHEN HAWKING: A LIFE IN SCIENCE and ISAAC NEWTON: THE LAST SORCERER.
