The Day the Music Died

Front Cover
Xlibris Corporation, Jul 8, 2010 - Music - 404 pages
Behind the roaring crowds and the billion-dollar record deals are tales of solitude, anger, and depression. Readers are about to unearth these stories as author Les MacDonald brings nostalgia to every bookshelf with The Day the Music Died, his newly released book published through Xlibris. The Day the Music Died is a well-researched documentation of the different true stories of the persons whose names are forever etched in the history of music. Throughout, readers will get an intimate look into the deaths of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Elvis Presley, Brian Jones, Bob Marley, John Lennon, George Harrison, Tupac Shakur, Nirvanas Kurt Cobain, Selena, Michael Jackson, and many more. As each of these artists permanently faded from the limelight, a new testimonial will be created to prove that their music lives on.

While some of our favorites may have lost their way at some point during their lifetimes, we must remember that there is one thing that the passage of time cannot erase . . . and that, my friends, is the music! shares the author.

About the author (2010)

Les first began writing sports articles for several magazines about five years ago. Being a self confessed movie nut writing a book about Hollywood seemed to be a natural fit. Hollywood’s Unhappiest Endings: Legends Never Die is his first book. Les lives with his son Tristan and divides his time between Winnipeg, Manitoba and Las Vegas, Nevada.
