Mick Ronson : The Spider with the Platinum Hair
Mick Ronson - Book - by Weird & Gilly
(2017)
During
the five years it has taken to collate this work, authors Weird and
Gilly have spoken to over fifty family members, close friends and
colleagues including exclusive interviews with Suzi Ronson, David and
Maggi Ronson (brother and sister), Minnie Ronson (mother), Steve
Popovich (manager), Lou Reed, Mick Jones, Ian Hunter, Chrissie Hynde,
Glen Matlock, Cherry Vanilla, Steve Harley, Bob Harris, Joe Elliott and a
host of others. As a result, this book provides a deeply intimate and
compelling insight into the life and times of an extraordinarily
talented guitarist. A man who was tender and caring off the stage, yet
fierce and electrifying on it.
Jeff
Beck, David Bowie, Ian Hunter and Annette Peacock are just a few of the
names that were to become associated with the Mick Ronson legend. He
toured with Bob Dylan, played with Mott The Hoople, worked with Lou Reed
and produced an impressive number of albums with arresting originality.
From his days as a mobile grocer to his performances at Wembley
Stadium, this minutely detailed biography also includes scores of
unpublished photographs and unseen rarities including: a hand-written
six-page autobiography by the man himself, love letters to his first
girlfriend, family album photographs and an exhaustive discography.
After
losing his battle with cancer, Mick passed away in the spring of 1993
at the young age of 46. This book is a salute to his remarkable music
and legacy. Fully revised and updated with scores of new unpublished
photographs and even more rare memorabilia.
