More About This Book

Overview

"Chris Campion strips away the myth and treats the Police not as superheroes but as beat cops- cracking their cases gig by gig, hit by hit, van ride by van ride as they worked their way into legend."
—Ian Christe, author of Sound of the Beast and Everybody Wants Some

"Chris Campion's recounting of the Police saga is well researched and often very funny. It's a great book about a great band."
—Stephen Davis, author of Hammer of the Gods

An unflinching look at the rise, fall, and comeback of one of the most famous bands in rock history and the emergence of the 1980s new wave rock scene.

The Police came seemingly from nowhere and took the world by storm. Then, at the height of their fame, they were suddenly gone. Walking on the Moon tells the unvarnished tale of their meteoric rise and the intense conflicts that led the group to disband and provides a look at the larger-than-life personalities that surrounded them in the strange and fascinating world of new wave rock.

Meet the Author

Chris Campion has reported on the world of popular culture- from its center to the extreme edges- for over fifteen years for British publications such as the Observer, the Daily Telegraph, and Bizarre magazine. A former contributing editor to the Dazed & Confused and Vice magazines, he has interviewed superstars, cultural nomads, vagabonds, and outcasts and has reported on subjects as varied as the Norwegian black metal scene, Japanese girl groups, a long-disputed death penalty case in Arkansas, the complicated public life of a celebrity British glamour model, and the cult of personality surrounding a controversial German anatomist.
