TASTEMAKER (TONY KING) (PB)

Tony King left school at 16 and started his career at Decca Records in 1958 where he soon found himself becoming a close friend of Elton John, rekindling John Lennon and Yoko Ono's relationship, mediating a quarrelsome Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and spending time with Freddie Mercury in his final days - a far cry from his childhood days in Eastbourne. Alongside his heady life in showbusiness, he was witness to the AIDS crisis and its devastating consequences. This biography paints an intimate portrait of a music legend and captures the unpredictable world he stamped his indelible mark upon.
