Book description
As a young schoolboy, David Essex dreamed of becoming a professional
footballer, and was signed up by his beloved West Ham United, but as a
teenager he developed a passion for music which set him on a very
different path, and ultimately led to superstardom.
It wasn't, however, an easy start. Scraping a living on the edges of
show business was a hard slog, and he endured many disappointments.
Then aged 23, he went along to an audition for a new musical called
Godspell and won the role of Jesus that was to shoot him to
fame. Within a year he was starring in the smash hit film, That'll
Be the Day, and had written and recorded his first number one
single 'Rock On'.
It was the start of Essex Mania, and a long journey of undreamt of
adventure. From Godspell to EastEnders it's been an
amazing life. And here is David's full incredible story - in his own words.
DAVID ESSEX will be working with brilliant ghost writer Ian Gittins,
who also co-wrote "New York Times" bestseller "The Heroin
Diaries "by Nikki Sixx
