Enter the most ostentatious and over-the-top homes of rock and roll's greatest stars.
Through hundreds of colorful, jaw-dropping photographs and inside accounts of private abodes, pleasure palaces, gardens, jet planes, and island hideaways, Rock Stars at Home is a breathtaking inside look at the spectacular worlds rock gods and goddesses create for themselves. Whether you love music, interior design, fashion, photography, or just a good bit of gossip about the lifestyles of the rich and famous, this unforgettable look behind closed doors—where the songs were written and the magic happened—will take your breath away.
Among the more than 30 legends whose homes and antics are featured inside are:
- Frank Sinatra
- Ike and Tina Turner
- Bob Dylan
- Jimi Hendrix
- John Lennon and Yoko Ono
- George Harrison
- Freddy Mercury
- Debbie Harry and Chris Stein
- Prince
- Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne
- Mariah Carey
- And many more!
Also included are entries on everything from the wild parties hosted by Keith Richards at Redlands to the Beatles's psychedelic interiors and the extravagant styles of the MTV Cribs generation. Whatever your style, you'll find something to love, to envy, and to decry in this homage to decadence. And you'll find yourself asking, where would you want to hang your hat after the world tour wraps?

LOVED this Book!
I first bought this as a gift for my sister after she had surgery then I had to get one for myself. I loved the book, the stories and great photos. It really cheered me up during these dark days of social distancing and isolation.
Reread Several Times
The book provided insight into the style, furnishings and homes of many of my favorite musicians. I have enjoyed having it on my shelf which has allowed a second and third reading. Strongly recommend.

A PEEK INTO REAL LIVES
This book wasn't exactly as I expected it to be. I thought there would be more information and pictures on - - well - - the homes! But there are lots of stories about lots of 'stars' -some more famous than others - and that in itself is a fun read. The pictures included were small and not always about the homes; I imagine the hardback version of this book will give the reader a better look at the pictures. Descriptions of some of the homes that were basically trashed by their inhabitants have the 'euwwww' factor and make one see those stars in a different light. Anyone who enjoys reading about 'the real lives' of famous people, will like this book. It's an easy read and a peek inside the stars' real lives.
Interesting look behind the scenes at 70/80s rock stars' lifestyles
With brief descriptions of their lifestyles, Rock Stars at Home offers an inside look at lives that can only be dreamed of by regular folks. Starting with Frank Sinatra’s famous Palm Springs home all the way to Noel Gallagher from Oasis, this book has a chapter for fans of all ages. It also goes outside the rock genre with Ike & Tina Turner, Johnny Cash and Michael Jackson. Some of the stories are familiar like Neverland Ranch—others not like Blondie’s start in the 1970s Bowery slum. There are separate features on the rock lifestyle like chartered jets and rock hotels. Overall, a good choice for rock (especially in the 70s and 80s) fans. I would have enjoyed more pictures. 3 stars. Thanks to Apollo Publishers and NetGalley for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
