Somebody Someday
British singer Williams, a megastar in Europe, has attracted attention here for his cheeky and introspective lyrics in such songs as "Millennium" and "Angels." He successfully made the transition from boy band member to successful solo star, but it wasn't easy, and following McCrum following Williams on tour, readers can see why. The mercurial star battles addictions to alcohol and drugs. Fortunately, the musicians and crew who tour with him love him. McCrum interviews the band, the managers, and Williams, going behind the scenes to give an idea of how a tour goes. Toward the end Williams admits, "I failed to see all of the great things about my life and there are so many." Though not as popular in the U.S. as in the U.K., Williams is a charismatic, flawed, ultimately captivating character, and the book's absorbing look into a rock star's life should hold curious readers once they start it.Kristine HuntleyCopyright © American Library Association.
