Marc Bolan was the very first superstar of the 1970s. As the seductive focus of T. Rex he revelled in fame and fortune; released a string of classic records before tragically losing his way. The fatal car accident in 1977 cut short his planned comeback as a punk rocker; but also served to fix Bolan as the definitive icon of the Glam years.Bolans music and chameleonic style were to influence a generation of future bands. In his various guises he could be a beatnik; a mod; a punk; a hippie and a Glam hero. This biography of a pop obsessive draws from interviews with many friends and colleagues including broadcaster John Peel; brother Harry and band members Mickey Finn and Bill Legend.
