His other collections include Blood and Glitter, Classic Queen, Glam! An Eyewitness Account, and Iggy & the Stooges: Raw Power. He lives in New York City.

Reviews
literally jaw-dropping photography of some of the most elite and iconic stars in rock music and pop culture history! Mick Rock's compositions ooze sensuality and electricity while really giving the viewer an intimate sense of the subject's unique and innate qualities, that is, the unseen, less tangible aspects of each star's character going into the constitution of that person's celebrity- their 'x factor' if you will. There are no stiff, staged, or posed portraits here, instead each photograph is a vivid moment shared with the real heart and soul of rock stars in which the dynamic but fleeting nature of the moment is expertly and seemingly effortlessly captured forever in rich shades of black and white or full HD glossy colour.
