The Lemonheads' frontman and songwriter had leapt from Boston's mid-80s punk scene into international grunge royalty.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. "Did you hear Evan Dando died last night?"Evan Dando spills the true story of his band's tumultuous history and what it was like to be famous in the pre-internet days in this candid, colourful, and unputdownable memoir.After Kurt Cobain's passing in 1994, everyone expected Evan Dando to be next. The Lemonheads frontman, songwriter and actor started in the 80s hardcore scene and went on to become a 90s icon with two gold records to his name. Think of Evan Dando, and you think of heroin chic, grunge and celebrity burnout. From sneaking into concerts as a child, to sleeping on floors in the punk rock days, to crashing at Johnny Depp's place in Hollywood, he was right there in the thick of it. So much so that social media once reported his death.Now, very much alive and sober, Dando is going to tell his own story. Rumours of my Demise will remind readers what was so great about the pre-internet 90s: the innocence, the access, and the anonymity. Reclaiming the purity and exuberance of his early days and encapsulating the spirit of the era, this is a portrait of an artist who lives wholly for his music, and one that makes no apologies for doing so. Evan Dando, frontman of The Lemonheads and "poster boy-and prettiest boy-of Gen X" (New York Times), spills the true story of his band's tumultuous history and what it was like to be famous in the pre-internet days in this candid, colourful, and unputdownable memoir.
