From tell-all memoirs to deep-dive biographies, British musicians have inspired some cracking reads. Which one had you turning pages well past midnight?
Put the items in your preferred order.

Life by Keith Richards
A gloriously honest romp through decades of riffs, riots and questionable life choices. Somehow he remembers most of it.

Bedsit Disco Queen by Tracey Thorn
A witty, warm memoir about being an accidental pop star while just trying to live a normal life. Refreshingly unglamorous.

Me by Elton John
Sequins, tantrums, addiction and redemption, all served up with proper piano-bar wit. Impossible to put down.

Morrissey: Autobiography
Divisive, dramatic and often hilarious, whether you love him or roll your eyes. Published as a Penguin Classic, naturally.

Bowie by Simon Critchley
A short but brilliant reflection on why Bowie mattered so much to so many. Perfect for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
