About
Featuring an introductory interview with LL Cool J
and epilogue from Paul Rosenberg, Eminem's manager
In 1999, a former dishwasher from Detroit became the most influential music artist in the world. Eminem's dexterity, wit and honesty turned him into one of the biggest-selling artists of all time and changed the landscape of music and pop culture as we know it.
Then, in 2006, at the height of his fame, he all but disappeared. Beset by non-stop controversies, bewildering fame, a debilitating drug problem and personal tragedies, he withdrew from the world. Over the next decade, he struggled and suffered through what he would call his "wilderness years" but eventually managed to get sober, get clean and get, triumphantly, back to the top.
Not Afraid is the definitive account of that story.
In this revelatory book, which follows on directly from the bestselling Whatever You Say I Am, rock journalist Anthony Bozza chronicles the personal and spiritual growth of one of music's most enduring and enigmatic artists through the insights of those closest to him, including Royce da 5'9", LL Cool J, Mr Porter, Paul Rosenberg and other friends and associates.
Capturing Eminem's toughest years in his own words, Not Afraid is a uniquely intimate portrait of an incredibly private man known by many to be the greatest rapper alive. Anthony Bozza is the author of several New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling books, including Whatever You Say I Am: The Life and Times of Eminem, Play On: Now, Then and Fleetwood Mac (with Mick Fleetwood), Tommy Land (with Tommy Lee) and Slash: The Autobiography (with Slash). The follow-up to the Sunday Times Bestseller Whatever You Say I Am, Not Afraid chronicles the last 15 years of Eminem's life, based on new, exclusive interviews with the rapper, his friends and his associates An exclusive look at Eminem: Anthony Bozza was the only journalist granted an interview with Eminem for his comeback album. He is the perfect person to write this insider account of a very private superstar. Eminem is one of the biggest artists recording music now: Revival was one of the biggest albums of 2017, he has released two No.1 albums since then and has had a sold-out World tour that included three nights at Twickenham Stadium (200k tickets sold). Perfect for Eminem fans and those who bought the previous book: Anthony's previous book on Eminem, Whatever You Say I Am (2003), was a Sunday Times Bestseller and sold 73k HBs and 55k PBs (TCM).
