Sex and Drugs and Rock ’n’ Roll: The Life of Ian Dury

The abrasive Dury always met life head on as an unsentimental, uncompromising lyricist and artist, in his relationships and in his music and this great biography does not shrink from chronicling some of his darker moments as well as his triumphs. As a man he was harder to fathom. Here at last is the first complete, no-holds-barred biography of the late, great, self-made Essex lad.
