He became one of the first generation of ragamuffin punks taken under the wings of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood.In Lonely Boy, Steve describes the sadness of never having known his real dad, the abuse he suffered at the hands of his stepfather, and how his interest in music and fashion saved him from a potential life of crime spent in remand centers and prisons. He takes readers on his journey from the Kings Road of the early '70s through the years of the Sex Pistols, punk rock, and the recording of 'Anarchy in the UK' and Never Mind the Bollocks. He recounts his infamous confrontation on Bill Grundy's Today program the interview that ushered in the 'Filth and the Fury' headlines that catapulted punk into the national consciousness. And he delves into the details of his selfimposed exile in New York and Los Angeles, where he battled alcohol, heroin, and sex addiction but eventually emerged to gain fresh acclaim as an actor and radio host.Lonely Boy is the story of an unlikely guitar hero who, with the Sex Pistols, transformed twentiethcentury culture and kickstarted a social revolution.
