From Stony Sleep to Razorlight

After a colourful childhood well-submerged in 80s entertainment, Shïan formed a band called Stony Sleep with his brother Ben at the height of the Grunge-Rock scene. Through amazingly fortuitous circumstances the band soon signed a record deal when Shïan was just 14 years old. This sparked an entrancing career that boasts eight bands and eleven studio albums to date, including multi-platinum selling Thamesbeat group Razorlight. But Shïan's story doesn't stop at Rock 'n Roll. It delves into global and mental exploration, love, break-down, drug obsession and madness. It spans 55 countries, five continents and is peppered with intriguing connections and appearances from Paul McCartney to Stanley Kubrick, until 2004 when he infamously committed professional suicide for unclear reasons. This brutally honest tale is a great read for anyone interested in music, entertainment or simply real life in the last era of Rock.
