Book SynopsisI was the Fool-king of Soho and the number-one slag in the Groucho Club, the second drunkest member of the world''s drunkest band. This was no disaster, though. It was a dream coming true.''

But as bass player of Blur - one of the most successful British bands of all time - his journey was more exciting and extreme than he could ever have predicted.
