Summary
The first official bad boy of opera, this is the story of his life - the ups and the downs, from finding fame to losing his father - and of his love affair with music.
A story not typical of most musical stars, Alfie's dreams of singing only became a reality when fate intervened in the form of a stranger: he was training as a car mechanic when a customer overheard him singing and told him about a London audition. Alfie tried out, got the part and has never looked back.
Celebrated worldwide and lauded by Baz Luhrman and Cameron Mackintosh as the best tenor we've produced in a generation, for the first time, he will grant his millions of fans an intimate glimpse into the life of the man they adore.

Good, but could have been better
What did you like most about Alfie?
The story of his background and his upbringing was very moving. It helps you to understand his motivation.
What did you like best about this story?
I think his relationship with his Dad, although his time on the street was a big surprise
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Andrew Wincott?
Alfie himself. That was the big let down for me. I think these type of books should always be read by the person themselves. If Barak Obama has time ......
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
His story of his father's death. I actually cried.
Any additional comments?
Re-record it yourself Alfie.

If this was ice cream it would be vanilla
This review is a straight up biography and is worth a listen if you like Alfie Boe. It doesn't have any amazing tell all truths and it won't set your heart on fire with passion or any emotion too much. It is a welcome change from the usual celebrities who tell us all about their shocking exploits. So as the title says its a bit vanilla but there is nothing wrong with that!

missing half of the story from the book
I love reading the book whilst listening to audible and I ve notice this audible book misses a view moments in the book what's disappointing for me a reader and lister.
however, it s still good to listen to his story.
