About the Author

John Gribbin trained as an astrophysicist at Cambridge before becoming a full-time science writer and is the 'master of popular science writing' according to the Sunday Times. He has worked for Nature and the New Scientist and has contributed to the Times and the Guardian. His numerous books include In Search of Schrodingers's Cat and The Universe: A Biography. Not Fade Away is his first non-science title, to which he brings the same scrupulous attention to detail and rigorous regard for facts that characterises his other work.

Reviews

‘If you want an introduction to the man and his music, you should read this charming and enthusiastic volume by John Gribbin.’
*Daily Express*

'Buddy Holly and The Crickets had an electrifying effect on us as young lads in Liverpool ... things would definitely not have been the same without his huge talent. Love ya' Buddy!'
*Paul McCartney*

'Buddy Holly and The Crickets had an electrifying effect on us as young lads in Liverpool. We were inspired to learn guitar by seeing him on television and listening to his records. ‘That'll Be The Day’ blew our minds and Lord knows how long we took trying to learn the opening riff. His guitar and vocal style was massively influential on us as writers and players and things would definitely not have been the same without his huge talent. Love ya' Buddy! P.S. The name of his band, The Crickets, also influenced our choice of band name so those boys have a lot to answer for!'
*Paul McCartney*

‘This new book provides the excuse to keep Holly’s music-making memory and influences alive.’
*Screentrade Magazine*
