In this tell-all drama documentary series, we lift the lid on these titans of music. Hearing from friends, family, band members, partners and the people who were all part of the journey, we piece together the turbulent childhoods, explosive teenage years, relationships with parents, girlfriends, wives and the band members of these unique individuals. We take those that knew them best back to the places where their legends were born – the apartments, clubs, dives, houses and cars in which these men were forged. From crippling drug addictions to scandalous affairs, we’ll uncover the shocking reality of what it takes to be a frontman; we’ll tap into the vast musical archive, use rare band interviews and remarkable off stage footage to piece together each dramatic tale.
