Who Are You? The Life and Death Of Keith Moon

The Who drummer Keith Moon was a totally incorrigible yet uniquely generous boy who never grew up and who changed the lives of all who knew him, a phenomenal character and an extravagant hell-raiser who — in a final, uncharacteristic act of grace — actually did die before he got old. Rock’s greatest drummer was also its greatest character and wildest party animal.

Fuelled by vast quantities of drink, drugs, insecurities and confusion, Moon destroyed everything with gleeful abandon: drum kits, houses, cars, hotels, relationships, and, finally, himself. Based on the best-selling biography Dear Boy by Tony Fletcher, Who Are You brings to the page Keith Moon’s incredible life and premature death in a dramatic graphic reconstruction by genre masters Jim McCarthy and Marc Olivent.
