Description: In 1973 David Essex starred as Jesus in the number one London stage show Godspell, had the numberone movie and soundtrack album with That'll Be The Day, and had written and recorded his first number one single, the classic 'Rock On'. It was a far cry from his early days in East London, where he and his mother were forced to live in a workhouse while his father struggled to find them the money for a home of their own. Revealing the story behind his amazing life David Essex recalls both the fun and the frustration of those early days. He also talks candidly about 'Essex Mania' and of creating the role of Che in the smash-hit musical Evita, and of his enduring success which has seen 23 top twenty hits over 30 years, millions of records sold, and yearly tours that play to over a quarter of a million people. '[An] extraordinary, moving story... in his beguilingly warm-hearted autobiography, he reveals the inside story of his years in the spotlight' - Daily Mail
