Simon Spence tells the "sad, funny and heroic story" of Steve Marriott

In the latest of our interviews with authors we talk to the writer of 'All Or Nothing', the authorised biography of Steve Marriott, a book with an explosive revelation on every page about a character as charming as he was disruptive and obnoxious. This unvarnished account covers his time as a child actor (alongside Tony Robinson and Dennis Waterman), the family frictions, the invention of his cockney persona, Don Arden's "boy band" creation of the Small Faces - "four little Oliver Twists with this massive powerful sound", why Lazy Sunday was the "millstone round his neck", the ascent and explosion of Humble Pie and the final tragic decline mapped out by gangsters, shysters, unpaid debts, aggrieved band members, unbelievably long-suffering women and some of the most immaculately crafted pop records ever made. The central delusion: he looked like an angel. The truth couldn’t have been more different.
