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.
