David Bailey's Rock and Roll Heroes

by Neil Spencer

In David Bailey's Rock and Roll Heroes Bailey himself brings together for the first time more than 80 of his most vivid and indelible images of the pop scene since the 1960s, from his earliest ever photographs of Mick Jagger, Lennon and McCartney and the Who, to his recent portraits of Liam and Noel Gallagher, of Oasis. This wide-ranging personal gallery also includes photographs of many of the biggest stars of modern Bob Dylan and Patti Smith, John Lydon and Boy George, Tina Turner and Sting. There is a session from 1985's Live Aid that shows, among others, Bob Geldof and Queen at the moment of their greatest glory. And there are classic heroes, a grinning Fred Astaire, an offbeat Miles Davis, a solemn Duke Ellington.
