FRANK SIDEBOTTOM - OUT OF HIS HEAD: The Authorised Biography of Chris Sievey

This is the updated version of the ebook first published in May 2014. Now contains a foreword by Mark Radcliffe and an interview with 'Frank' director Lenny Abrahamson.

This is the text-only version. A new version with extra images will be available from November 6th.

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ARTIST quite like Chris Sievey or his 'fantastic' comedic alter ego, Frank Sidebottom. Whether pushing for chart action while fronting his former band The Freshies or allowing the bombastic Sidebottom to wreak anarchy and chaos on television, radio or with the Oh Blimey Big Band, Sievey's mischievous muse seemed to obey no boundaries. Yet it was only after Chris's untimely demise in 2010 that the extent of his infl uence became fully apparent.
The emergence of Jon Ronson's film, 'Frank', Steve Sullivan's exhaustive documentary 'Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story' and the erection of the Frank Sidebottom statue in his native Timperley last October - before thousands of devotees - all combined to make this the most extraordinary stories of recent decades.
In this unorthodox biography, journalist Mick Middles draws on his thirty year friendship with Sievey to gain further insight this most charismatic of artists. Family members, fellow musicians, fans and acquaintances help trace Chris's career from Timperley to Hollywood.
