## Description

With a slick redesign integrating the classic text and photographs with expanded imagery from the Marr archives, this enhanced edition of Johnny Marr’s ‘defiantly unghostwritten’ bestselling autobiography is so much more than the story of the much-loved guitar wizard. It’s the inside track of popular music over the last forty years, laid bare by a musical legend at the heart of it all and never far from the Top 10. A true collector’s item, Johnny Marr: Set the Boy Free also features a foreword by Noel Gallagher, and a brand-new preface and illustrated afterword by Marr, adding further highlights and insights into what has been another stellar decade of creative projects. Featuring exclusive photography including live, backstage and studio shots from key eras of The Smiths and the many collaborations beyond, this illustrated anniversary edition comes at a time when Marr’s stature as a musician, songwriter and household name confirms his position as a modern cultural icon.
