The story of Genesis is the rock legend of how a humble schoolboy band grew into a group of global superstars. At its center stood Mike Rutherford; driving the music from pioneering prog rock to chart-topping hits. Now for the first time; he tells the remarkable inside story of Genesis and his own band; Mike + The Mechanics.Against the rhythm of drink; drugs; and lineup changes; Mikes father; a World War II naval officer; always stood in the background. He would watch Genesis grow; supporting them from the very beginning when they toured Britain in the back of a bread van. Through extreme highs and lows; loyal Captain Rutherford was always there; earplugs at the ready.But when his father suddenly died; Mike was forced to reexamine their relationship and only then began to understand how much their lives had overlapped. The Living Years is a revealing memoir of the relationship between father and son and the story of how music; families; and friendship combine.
