Featuring never-before-told stories, No Encore! takes you on tour with over sixty iconic musicians as they relive their weirdest, wildest, most embarrassing gigs. Drew Fortune shares with us some of the hilarious, sometimes horrifying, collection spans four decades and chronicles the craziest, druggiest, and most embarrassing concert moments in music history — direct from the artists who survived them.

From wardrobe malfunctions to equipment failures, from bad decisions to even worse choices, Drew’s book provides a riveting look into what happens when things go wrong onstage and off — from Alice Cooper’s python having a violent, gastric malfunction on stage, to Shirley Manson’s desperate search for a bathroom. As Hunter S. Thompson famously wrote, “Buy the ticket, take the ride.”
