[-except the last photo. It’s just my favourite photo of Mick & Dave🥹]

Oh my god, I just finished this book, it was so good but heartbreaking.. especially between Mick and David’s friendship at the end :,)

This excerpt specifically:

“ What hurt Karn most was the loss of Sylvian as a friend and the resultant disharmony of a group that had been a family to its members since their teens… There was a framed photo of him and David above his bed; he really had considered him his best friend. After the Yuka thing [Mick’s Girlfriend, Yuka Fujii left him for David.] he didn't take that picture down, but he just didn't sleep in the bed any more. He slept on a sofa bed in the lounge. He was so, so depressed. ”

Poor Mick!! This was such a lovely book though, I highly recommend it. So much good insight into the band <3
