The Illustrated Biography

Produktbeschreibung

This is the incredible story of Oasis in a lavishly illustrated hardback edition. With over 70 million albums sold worldwide, a place in the Guinness Book of Records for achieving 22 consecutive Top Ten singles including such classics as ' Wonderwall', ' Champagne Supernova', ' Rock n Roll Star' and ' Don't Look Back in Anger' - plus a bulging treasure chest of over 30 BRIT, MTV, NME and Q Awards - Oasis were one of the greatest, most successful rock n' roll bands ever to come out of the UK. Formed in Manchester in 1991, by the middle of that decade Oasis had become the defining musical act for a generation and the undisputed kings of ' Britpop' - their popularity peaking in August 1996 when they played to 250,000 people over two nights at the legendary Knebworth concerts. Over 20 years on, the warring Gallagher brothers continue to enthral although it's almost a decade since they split. Combining stunning images by top music photographers with a warts-and-all account of what really went on, ' Dont Look Back' pays tribute to the phenomenon that were Oasis.
