Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Here lie Elvis, Buddy Holly, Selena, Tupac Shakur, and many more. A loving tribute in words and photos to music's dearly departed. May they rock in peace!
Stairway to Heaven: The Final Resting Places of Rock's Legends commemorates the rock ‘n' roll greats who have gone on to that big backstage party in the sky. With artful photos of graves and memorials, and text offering in-depth and never-before-published information about the rock stars' lives and deaths, Stairway is an elegant, informative, and soulful tribute to music's greatest stars, from Elvis and the Lizard King to the Ramones and "Left Eye" Lopes. The best gift you can give a die-hard music fan this holiday season, Stairway can best be summed up by the words on the headstone of Blues Brother John Belushi: "I may be gone, but Rock & Roll lives on."
