Story
Eric Clapton is far more than a rock star. Like Dylan and McCartney, he is an icon and a living legend. He has sold tens of millions of records, played sell-out concerts all over the world, and been central to the significant musical developments of his era. His guitar playing has seen him hailed as "God". Now, for the first time, Eric tells the story of his personal and professional journeys in this pungent, witty, and painfully honest autobiography.

If it can happen in show business, it’s happened to Jon Cryer. Now he’s opening up for the first time and sharing his behind-the-scenes stories in a warmly endearing, sharply observed, and frankly funny look at life in Hollywood. In 1986, Jon Cryer won over America as Molly Ringwald’s loyal and lovable best friend, Duckie, in the cult classic Pretty in Pink in a role that set the tone for his three-decade-long career in Hollywood. He went on to establish himself as one of the most talented comedic actors in the business.

Story
Most people know Andrew McCarthy from his movie roles in Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo's Fire, Weekend at Bernie's, and Less Than Zero, and as a charter member of Hollywood's Brat Pack. That iconic group of ingenues and heartthrobs has come to represent both a genre of film and an era of pop culture. In his memoir, McCarthy focuses his gaze on that singular moment in time. The result is a revealing look at coming of age in a maelstrom, reckoning with conflicted ambition, innocence, addiction, and masculinity.

Henry Winkler, launched into prominence as “The Fonz” in the beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is. Brilliant, funny, and widely regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s simply not the case, he’s really just grateful to be here), Henry shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you.

Comedy superstar Mike Myers writes from the (true patriot) heart about his 53-year relationship with his beloved Canada. Mike Myers is a world-renowned actor, director and writer and the man behind some of the most memorable comic characters of our time. But, as he says, "No description of me is truly complete without saying I'm a Canadian". He has often winked and nodded to Canada in his outrageously accomplished body of work, but now he turns the spotlight full-beam on his homeland.

The result of this Roger Daltrey's introspection is a remarkable memoir, instantly captivating, funny and frank, chock-full of well-earned wisdom and one-of-kind anecdotes from a raucous life that spans a tumultuous time of change in Britain and America. Born during the air bombing of London in 1944, Daltrey fought his way (literally) through school and poverty and began to assemble the band that would become The Who while working at a sheet metal factory in 1961.

From the do-or-die early days of self-financed recordings and D.I.Y. concert productions that were as flashy as they were foolhardy, to the multi-platinum, MTV-powered glory years of stadium-shaking anthems and chart-topping power ballads, to the ultimate crash when grunge bands like Nirvana forever altered the entire climate of the business, Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock's Nothin' But a Good Time captures the energy and excess of the hair metal years in the words of the musicians and industry insiders who lived it.

Fascinating Listen
I grew up with Genesis playing in the background as my dad was a big fan. The Phil Collins of the 80’s and 90’s was the backdrop of my teenage years. To hear the story behind the music told so truthfully by the man himself is amazing. Thanks Phil!!!

Entertaining, enlightening walk down memory lane
Very well narrated - as one would expect - with a lot of Collins' trademark joviality. Phil's thoughtful telling of his life in and outside of music is well worth your investment.

Your life and times were a twist and turn in every chapter. The words how music was every bit of how you lived your life. You made my evenings for three hours each night. Thank you so much for your effort. Best wishes. Smooth Sailing Mister Collins.

Just cannot put it (audibly) down!
Fantastic memoir of one of the best musician, composer, entertainer of the last 50 years. Narrated in a simple yet extremely interesting way. Not Dead Yet is by far the very best biography I have ever read or heard. After having delighted so many with his musical talents, Phil Collins now does the same with his writing skills and the story of his life! Any small or big fan of him or Genesis : this is a must.

Love it , real life story ! Phil reveals everything his high’s and lows ! Found about so much about the man and Genesis and all the people in his life from King Charles to Eric Clapton. Big success professionally comes at the expense of family life ! Would he turn it all again ?

Honest and powerful.
Enjoyed learning the backstory about Genesis and Collins solo career as well as tidbits of his encounter with musics legends. Phil Collins offers a profoundly honest portrait of his life an loves. Was particularly relevant having just recently seen his wonderful performance with Nick his young son on drums in Toronto. Collins is a fighter and is a gifted artist. Thank you for this Phil.

Honest portrayal of a legend's career
I've been on a bit of a musician biography kick lately. I didn't even know Phil Collins has written a book until it came up in my recommendations and as a fan of his work on his own and with Genesis, I gave it a go. I finished it in less than 5 days, it's that much of an "auditory page turner" if you will.
This isn't your typical "sex, drugs and rock and roll" story, though certainly not without a lot of its own tragedy. This is a story of someone incredibly dedicated to his craft, so much so that it leads to massive workaholism, that leads to the failure of 3 marriages and 5 kids scattered across the world, even as Mr. Collins tries his best to be a good and genuine Dad. Interestingly, his problems with substance abuse actually come much later in his life, when he's largely retired from music, in fact, only a few years before the book was written. Not just the failure of his third marriage but indeed, breaking from the endless cycle of recording and touring (largely due to health issues caused by that) is what seems to have sent him down the dark path. Thankfully, he's largely recovered from that.
Like many rock star stories, you'll hear tales of terrible, often stupid choices Mr. Collins made that led to some of his downfalls. He's very candid about them and takes accountability for his parts, something many celebrities don't do in their autobiographies. It's also clear that a lot of the smears the British tabloids loved to lob at him were untrue or at best, heavily distorted versions of the truth.
I found this book very entertaining and both inspiring and in parts, tragic at the same time. Love Phil Collins' music or hate it (personally, I really like most of it), you can't deny he had an incredible work ethic and contributed an incredible amount to the musical trends of the 80s and 90s.
I highly recommend this one.
