My Adele & Taylor Swift biographies

Posted in Uncategorized

‘For an increasing number of modern celebrities, fame is akin to running on a treadmill set to a sharp incline and high speed. Only by relentless, breathless activity, they have come to believe, can they remain in the place they love most: the fickle spotlight of showbusiness. Albums, films, clothing ranges and other projects are released at a prolific rate. In between such spikes, the celebrities continue to grasp for any opportunity to remind the public they exist, however desperate or ungainly those opportunities.’

So begins the new chapter in the brand new, fully updated edition of my biography of the British singer Adele, which is published now. The original edition was released in 2011 and became an instant bestseller. It gave me my first ever number one in the UK, and the book has now been sold to 14 other countries. I’m so thrilled. I bring her story up to date in the new edition.

Next month, my biography of American singer Taylor Swift will be published as an e-book, with a paperback to follow at the end of January. But you can download the first two chapters of the book free of charge right now.

It’s been an exciting week for Taylor. She duetted with Prince William and Jon Bon Jovi at a charity gala in London. But here is my favourite Taylor song, I’m Only Me When I’m With You. I love it: the chorus fills me with a feeling of invincibility, before the violins and drums take my ears to the best party in the world. This is musical heaven.
