A long-awaited visual memoir from a legend of popular culture, this is the first and only official book by Annie Lennox, one of the best-selling and most influential music and style icons of the last fifty years—destined to be the must-have title for music lovers and will command attention from the fashion and photography worlds.

Over a career spanning almost half a century, Annie Lennox has established herself as one of the true superstars of pop music and an icon of popular culture. With Dave Stewart in the Eurythmics, and later as a solo artist, she is responsible for some of the best-selling records of all time and some of the most memorable artwork ever created around music.

Always recognized for her unique approach to style and performance—the BBC called her “the singer whose powerful, androgynous look defied the male gaze”—Lennox has been filmed and photographed by all the great image-makers of our time, from Richard Avedon and Pamela Hanson to Bettina Rheims and Ellen von Unwerth. With Polaroids from her personal archives alongside iconic portraits, music video stills, and record covers, this stunning book collects more than 200 pictures to create an illustrated memoir of a musician’s life in and out of the spotlight.

Made in close collaboration with the artist, the book moves chronologically through the entirety of her life and career. Her lyrics—captured here in their original form, handwritten or hammered out on a typewriter—accompany the photographs throughout, and alongside captions and anecdotes shine light on periods of her life and tell the stories behind the pictures. At once intimate, revelatory, and celebratory, this is a beautiful and compelling document of the woman behind one of the strongest voices in music.
