Michael Francis

    Michael Francis John sa narodil v Anglicku a vyrastal v uliciach východného Londýna. V mladom veku opustil domov a podľa jeho vlastných slov „žil mnohokrát na mnohých podivných miestach na tomto svete“. Nakoniec sa usadil v okrese Los Angeles, kde žije a pokračuje v písaní. Jeho tvorba je hlboko formovaná jeho rozsiahlymi životnými skúsenosťami a jedinečným pohľadom na svet.

      Life changed for Michael Francis at the age of 21 when Paul McCartney walked into his father's boxing gym to watch his friend preparing for a fight. Paul hired Michael as his security guard, beginning a thirty-year music business career in which he worked with such legendary names as Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, The Osmonds, Sheena Easton, Frank Sinatra, Bon Jovi, Cher, and Kiss. As tour manager, Michael was responsible for every aspect of their safety and their comfort, from making sure they were not mobbed on stage to making sure they got paid. To some of them he became close. He was best man at Jon Bon Jovi's wedding, and provided personal security for Cher at her Malibu home. He shared their wildest excesses, their highs and their lows; he saw their fears, and all too often, their loneliness and paranoia. Sometimes hilarious, frequently shocking, always perceptive, Star Man is the outrageous, uncompromising, and brutally honest story of one man's life with the biggest stars of rock.
