Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star

The ultimate backstage pass to a bygone era of rock magic. First published in 1974, Ian Hunter's Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star is a vivid, unfiltered chronicle of Mott the Hoople's 1972 US tour. Hailed by Q as "perhaps the greatest rock book ever" and celebrated by The Guardian as "a timeless snapshot of a rock musician’s life and a glorious period piece," this iconic work captures the raw energy, chaos, and charm of life on the road in the Seventies. Part memoir, part cultural time capsule, Hunter's diary is brutally honest and irresistibly engaging—a touchstone in the genre of rock writing. Republished with a new foreword from David Quantick to sit within the Omnibus Remastered collection, this edition invites a fresh generation of readers to relive the highs, lows, and everything in between of a band on the cusp of rock history. Ian Hunter, the charismatic lead singer of Mott the Hoople, has carved a legendary career spanning over five decades, both with the band and as a solo artist. No longer touring but still recording, Hunter proves that the spirit of rock 'n' roll is as enduring as ever.
