Signed First Edition: Rod: The Autobiography by Rod Stewart

This listing features a dynamic piece of modern rock history: an authentically hand-signed First Edition of Rod: The Autobiography by legendary British singer-songwriter and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Rod Stewart. Published in 2012 by Crown Archetype (an imprint of Random House), this first printing captures the warm, self-deprecating, and boisterous spirit of one of music's most enduring icons.

With a career spanning over five decades, Rod Stewart has sold over 250 million records worldwide, leaving an indelible mark on rock, pop, and soul music. From his early days as a grave digger and aspiring footballer to his breakout work with the Jeff Beck Group and The Faces, and on to his stellar solo stardom with hits like "Maggie May," "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?," and "You're in My Heart," Stewart's journey is the quintessential rock 'n' roll tale. In this candid memoir, he offers an unvarnished, witty, and deeply charming account of his life on and off the stage. He reflects on his working-class London upbringing, his legendary conquests, his famous friendships (including his playful rivalry with Elton John), his battle with thyroid cancer, and his enduring passion for football and model railroading.

Bound in clean publisher's hardcovers and accompanied by the original, unclipped pictorial dust jacket featuring Stewart’s signature spiky hair on the front and a collage of vintage personal photos on the rear, this volume is a visual treat. Signed directly across the half-title page by Rod Stewart in a bold, sweeping black marker stroke, this pristine copy stands in Fine/Fine condition, making it a stellar acquisition for music historians and rock music aficionados.
