Freak Like Me: Confessions Of A 90S Pop Groupie

In nineties small-town Surrey, watching Top of the Pops was Malcolm's only escape from boredom and the bullies at school … until a phone call from a pop star changed his life forever. Before long, he was getting compliments from Beyoncà©, hanging out at award ceremonies with Posh Spice's mum and sneaking onto All Saints' tour bus.

Freak Like Me is the true story of one teenage pop fan who, with a group of like-minded outcasts, witnesses the disposable music industry of the late nineties and early noughties first-hand. Tracking down A-lister itineraries, he gets to meet the real personalities behind the Smash Hits posters adorning his bedroom walls.

This hilarious memoir is packed with scandalous gossip and poignant memories from the era of Nokia 3310s and dial-up Internet, when chart positions meant everything and, if you wanted to know what your idols were up to off-screen, you had to track them down yourself!
