SWEET - More Than Just Bubblegum - The Complete Story Of The Glam Rock Legends

Glitter. Hits. Screaming fans. A sound that defined an era. Sweet were one of the biggest glam-rock bands of the 1970s but they were never just a teen-pop phenomenon. Behind the sparkle, the stage costumes, and the irresistible choruses stood four musicians fighting to break free from a manufactured image and prove themselves as a serious rock band. From Funny Funny and Co-Co to Ballroom Blitz, Fox On The Run, and Love Is Like Oxygen, Sweets journey was one of constant reinvention: from bubblegum pop to hard rock, from chart domination to internal conflict, from glittering success to personal tragedy. Helge Holm tells the complete story of Brian Connolly, Steve Priest, Mick Tucker, and Andy Scott their music, their contradictions, their creative battles, their albums, their live power, and their lasting legacy. A vivid, deeply informed portrait of a band that shaped glam rock, influenced generations of musicians, and proved there was always more to Sweet than bubblegum.
