Book Description
Everyone knows the success stories of the music industry – how Michael Jackson’s Thriller blew the roof off and how Clive Davis helped orchestrate Carlos Santana’s stunning comeback. But now you’ll find out about people who were dead wrong. This book details some of the most expensive blunders ever made by artists and by record executives, managers and producers who’ve worked with stars such as Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, The Beatles, Madonna, Nickelback, Bob Dylan, Dido, The Rolling Stones, and dozens more. From contract and copyright screw-ups to sheer arrogance and lying, this book includes eye-opening revelations on: the pitfalls of employing a family member • the marketability of suicide • the industry’s accepted levels of lies and thievery • and much, much more.
