With a foreword by Chrissie Hynde In Lonely Boy, Steve Jones tells his story for the very first time, describing the sadness of never having known his real dad, the abuse suffered at the hands of his stepfather, and how his interest in music and fashion saved him from a potential life of crime. He takes readers through the recording of "Anarchy in the UK" and Never Mind the Bollocks, recounts his infamous confrontation on Bill Grundy's Today program, and delves into the details of his self-imposed exile in New York and L.A. where he battled alcohol, heroin, and sex addiction but eventually emerged to gain fresh acclaim as an actor and radio host. Lonely Boy is the story of an unlikely guitar hero who, with the Sex Pistols, transformed twentieth-century culture and kick-started a social revolution.
