Description
The first definitive biography of one of pop music's most enduring and influential voices, with startling new insights and revelations. Dusty's legacy as one of the greatest singers of all time endures, with her distinctive style now influencing a new generation of artists, including Adele. Using new material, meticulous research, and frank interviews with childhood friends, lovers, and confidants of the star, Karen Bartlett reveals sensational new details about Dusty's childhood, personal relationships, addictions, and lifelong struggle with her sexuality. Dusty was one of the biggest musical stars of the twentieth century. She has been inducted into both the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the UK Music Hall of Fame. Dusty was the first female entertainer to come out as bisexual. The story of her lifelong struggle to come to terms with her sexuality will especially appeal to LGBT readers and reviewers. Karen Bartlett is a writer and journalist based in London. She has written extensively for Newsweek, the Sunday Times, The Times, The Guardian, and WIRED and has presented and produced for BBC Radio. She was the youngest director of democratic reform and human rights campaign group Charter88, and she began her career in the UK and South Africa. Most recently, she worked with Eva Schloss, writing her Sunday Times-bestselling autobiography After Auschwitz: A Story of Heartbreak and Survival by the stepsister of Anne Frank.
