Funny Peculiar: The Autobiography

In 2001, Will Young shot to fame as the first winner of Pop Idol. It was clear right from the start that he would never be a typical pop star - and more than ten years later he is still one of the UK's best-loved and most intriguing artists. In his engaging, witty, and scrupulously honest autobiography, he tells his remarkable story in his own unique voice. From his experiences on Pop Idol, to coming out in the glare of the media spotlight, Will is open about both the highs and lows of his life. He also provides sound and practical advice on dealing with the DVLA helpline - something that has been woefully neglected by all other celebrity memoirs. If you have ever wondered what it's like to attend a fashion show, or how it feels to stand up to Simon Cowell in front of the whole nation, this book reveals all, and much more. Will Young is not a typical pop star - and his book is a fresh, thought-provoking, and entertaining portrait of a true original.
