Whatever Happened to Slade?

More than simply the iconic group of the 1970s glam rock era, Slade's huge popularity and the enduring levels of affection still exist. Although the original quartet ceased working as a unit in 1992, Noddy Holder, Dave Hill, Jim Lea, and Don Powell remain household names. The first serious biography of Slade since 1984, Whatever Happened to Slade details the complete story of this unique band, as well as the personal histories of the four unique individuals who combined to turn Slade into a genuine phenomenon. Beginning by exploring the background and influences that shaped the foursome, the book charts their emergence from the 1960s beat boom, their initial successes, the epoch-making glam heyday, Slade's attempts to crack America, and subsequent re-emergence as hard rocking heavyweights, through to their final dissolution and post-Slade careers. Featuring new interviews, Slade: Nobody's Fools represents the final word on a band that won hearts and perforated eardrums across four incident-filled, often ironically bittersweet decades.
