Description:
The life of one of rock's greatest legends

Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) was a musical genius. With his virtuoso guitar playing he revolutionized rock music. 50 years after his lonely death gives Wild Thing a unique insight into the conflicting personality of this legend, who is flamboyant and limitless on stage was, but outside the spotlight a shy and gentle boy. Norman takes the reader from Hendrix's birthplace in Seattle to the glamour of London's Mayfair, at that time the swinging centre of the world, and back to the United States, where Hendrix shone on a series of historic rock festivals, including Woodstock. Wild Thing is the first biography to capture the greatness and tragedy of Hendrix's short life comes together and the mysterious circumstances of his death are unraveled. A monument to an unparalleled artistry and a compelling chronicle of a mythical time.
