'Famous: Ego, Envy and Ambition in Pop, Rock and Hip-Hop' - Matt Thorne in conversation with Dave Cryer of Penrith Writers

Matt Thorne’s new book FAMOUS: Ego, Envy and Ambition in Pop, Rock and Hip-Hop explores seven moments in music where stars from the worlds of pop, rock and hip-hop have collided, beginning with Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley and ending with Taylor Swift and Ye. His 2012 biography of Prince was an international bestseller and has been acclaimed as ‘the definitive work on the man.’ He is also the author of six novels, including Eight Minutes Idle, which won an Encore Award and Cherry, which was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. His new book has been described as “passionate and always engrossing” by The Times and “entertaining, insightful and a pleasure to read” by MOJO, among many other glowing reviews.
