Publisher's Synopsis
In 1982, a week after graduating, Michael White and his fiancee Jan joined the Thompson Twins pop group as they stood on the brink of international fame. But what should have been a fairy-tale success story turned sour when she fell in love with the band's manager.
This is the story of how Michael transformed himself from Essex schoolboy-with-guitar to a member of one of the most successful bands of the early 1980s, whose hits included 'Doctor, Doctor', 'Hold Me Now' and 'We Are Detective'. It is also an insider's tale of life in a pop group and a memoir of the decade that gave us the Filofax, power suits and Big Hair.
Highly personal yet of universal appeal, THOMPSON TWIN is a funny and moving tale of boy meets girl, boy and girl become international pop stars, boy loses girl . . .
