âThis lavishly illustrated book presents one facet of Lee’s own personal journey. The bass guitar has been his passport, his vehicle, his fuel; this book will be his account of a life lived on the stage and a view of the world heâs seen on the road.â
Alongside the standard edition, there will be a limited number of signed and numbered deluxe editions of the book available next autumn.
