Marc Bolan the biggest pop star in post-Beatles Britain was haunted by the fear that he would die before his 30th birthday. He repeatedly told friends family & colleagues that he had foreseen his own death in a car crash & that the car would be a mini. He had alluded to the tragedy in several songs & a poem in which he named the tree that would become a shrine to his grieving fans. It is said that he had also known the date of his death gleaned from a painting titled The Sixteenth of September by the Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte which foreshadowed an iconic image on the cover of his The Slider album. Whatever the truth it is a fact that on that very date in 1977 two weeks short of his 30th birthday Bolans morbid prophecy was fulfilled. In this definitive new biography Paul Roland chronicles the life & music of the vibrato-voiced glam rock idol & 20th century boy who created some of the most instantly appealing & enduring songs of the 70s -- Ride A White Swan Hot Love Get It On Telegram Sam Children of the Revolution & Solid Gold Easy Action -- in what appears to have been a fevered rush to cheat Fate. At the peak of his popularity in 1972 the Beatles acknowledged Bolan & his group T-Rex as their natural successor & Ringo Starr directed the film that brought the fan hysteria known as T-Rextasy to a stagnant British pop scene & which was to top the DVD charts 30 years after it original release. That year the former working class Hackney mod launched his own label & continued a run of number one hits that accounted for 3.5% of the total singles sales in the UK outselling the combined singles sales of Jimi Hendrix & The Who. But just when Bolan was at the summit of his success it all went sour. This is the incredible story of Marc Bolans roller-coaster rise to fame & his resurrection as the self-styled Godfather of Punk that promised to put him back on top until the fatal accident which cut short his life & hopes of a comeback." ...
