About this book

Greg Jenner considers celebrity and the powerful attachments people form to public figures they may never meet. The widespread response to David Bowie's death provides a starting point, revealing how music, memory and personal identity become intertwined. This nonfiction exploration treats fame as a social phenomenon, asking what public admiration and shared grief reveal about audiences as well as performers.
