Marc Bolan had a style that people couldn't ignore. A hustler with artistic pretensions, he became Britain's top-selling poet and pop star, creating the Glam Rock genre single-handedly. He carved out his career against the backdrop of 1960s Britain, during the height of Beatlemania. And when the Beatles folded, it was Bolan's T-Rex who stepped forward to take over as Britain's biggest group. His tragic death in a car accident in 1977 has not diminished his popularity - indeed it has transformed him into a pop icon. Today, Bolan's songs still stand the test of time, capturing much of the swagger and immediacy of the rock 'n' roll impulse which provides the basis of contemporary popular music. This biography pays homage to Bolan's enduring legend and explores the forces and passions which engendered his eccentric genius. Packed with exclusive new information and interviews with all those closest to him, including Bolan's wife and brother, this is a classic book on a legendary star.
