More than simply the iconic group of the 1970s glam rock era, Slade’s huge popularity and the enduring levels of affection still exist. Although the original quartet ceased working as a unit in 1992, Noddy Holder, Dave Hill, Jim Lea and Don Powell remain household names. The first serious biography of Slade since 1984, Slade: Nobody’s Fools details the complete story of this unique band, as well as the personal histories of the four unique individuals who combined to turn Slade into a genuine phenomenon.

Beginning by exploring the background and influences that shaped the foursome, the book charts their emergence from the 1960s beat boom, their initial successes, the epoch-making glam heyday, Slade’s attempts to crack America and subsequent re-emergence as hard rocking heavyweights, through to their final dissolution and post-Slade careers. Featuring new interviews, Slade: Nobody’s Fools represents the final word on a band that won hearts and perforated eardrums across four incident-filled, often ironically bittersweet decades.
