The Last Star is the best-selling, in-depth aesthetic account of the life, loves, attitudes, lyrics and music of Marc Almond. In this new edition, author Jeremy Reed traces the evolution of Almond's music and lyrics from the legendary Soft Cell, through the various solo records and collaborations, to his emergence as perhaps the greatest male torch singer of his generation. The result is a sympathetic and vivid portrayal of a controversial, enigmatic modern star living and working at the creative edge of his art. Includes 24 pages of photography and complete discography.
