Alex James Livres

For Alex James, music had alwaysbeen a door to a more exciting life: a way to travel,meet new people and, hopefully, pick up girls. But asbass player of Blur - one of the most successful Britishbands of all time - his journey was more exciting andextreme than he could ever have predicted. Successcatapulted him from a slug-infested squat in Camberwellto a world of private jets and world-class restaurants.As ‘the second drunkest member of theworld’s drunkest band’ life wasalways chaotic, but Alex James retained a boundlessenthusiasm and curiosity at odds with his hedonisticlifestyle. From nights in the Groucho with Damien Hirst,to dancing to Sister Sledge with Bjork, to being bittenon the nose by the lead singer of Iron Maiden, he offersa fascinating and hilarious insight into the world ofcelebrity. At its heart, however, A BIT OF A BLUR is thepicaresque tale of one man’s search to findmeaning and happiness in an increasingly surreal world.Pleasingly unrepentant but nonetheless a reformed man,Alex James is the perfect chronicler of his generation -witty, observant, frank and brimming with joie de vivre.A BIT OF A BLUR is as charming, funny and deliciouslydisreputable as its author.
