Here is the first and only biography of one of pop music's last surviving enigmas. Lead singer with the Walker Brothers in the Sixties, Scott scored massive hits with No Regrets, The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore, Make It Easy On Yourself and many more. As a solo artist his hit singles included Jacky and Joanna, gaining the respect of critics and contemporaries alike. Yet by 1969 he was a recluse, silent and hidden from view. Musicians as diverse as Bono, Marc Almond, David Bowie, Chris Lowe and Julian Cope all acknowledge the influence of Scott Walker. Admired and emulated, he seemed to have it all - but success was only half the story. Close friends, fellow musicians and Scott's own relatives speak out for the first time to reveal a tale of attempted suicide, confusion and Sixties mayhem in this intimate and revealing portrait of a living legend.
