Daisy Jones & The Six
Sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll and the wild seventies in a band drama that speaks for other...
They were one of the most famous rock bands of their time. Fans loved her, groupies went crazy for her, reviewers praised her hits to the skies and producers wrung their hands over millions of dollars in profits. And then came July 12, 1979 - the day the seven members of Daisy Jones and The Six went their own way. What dramas preceded the collapse of the global phenomenon?
This series of interviews with family, friends and individual players goes back to the very beginning of the formation: until 1965. It will tell a unique story of dreams and burning passions, envy and addiction, and above all, the love of music exploited by the ruthless machine of the pop culture business. It gradually reveals who the talented singer-songwriter Daisy Jones really is, the turbulent history of Pittsburgh's The Six, led by hard-driving frontman Billy Dunn, and the first time these headstrong artists crossed paths.
Inspired by the world-famous band Fleetwood Mac, the story has become a worldwide bestseller and has been translated into more than 25 languages. A miniseries based on the book, starring Riley Keough and Sam Claffin, was produced by Amazon TV.
They wrote about the book:
Backstage intrigue drives the novel and turns the book into a celebration of the modern American myth.
- Vogue
A fascinating story about sex, drugs and rock and roll in the 60s and 70s. The prose is vigorous, original and at times almost rawly realistic.
- Publishers Weekly
I devoured the book in one day and absolutely fell in love with it. Taylor Jenkins Reid's charming delivery has me so enthralled that I can't put it out of my mind. Her characters are breathtakingly complex. Daisy and the whole band took my heart and I'm sure they will take yours too.
- actress and producer Reese Witherspoon
