Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The intimate and uplifting memoir from one of Britain's most loved singers - this is Alfie, off stage.

Bringing his characteristic sense of cheeky humour to the page, in this heartfelt book Alfie describes for the first time the highs and lows of over a decade singing and performing across the world. From personal dinners with Queen Elizabeth II and following in the steps of King of Rock 'n' Roll Elvis in Vegas to mischievous antics with Michael Ball, Alfie's book takes us backstage to witness his brilliant career memories.

But this book is also a heartfelt insight to Alfie's unmasked truth for the first time ever. His unflinching honesty reveals not only the success stories, but also the pressures and how, through challenging times, he learned more about himself than he ever thought possible.

Laying bare the events that have shaped Alfie into the performer he is today, Face the Music demonstrates to us all that it's not our mistakes that define us - but instead, how we choose to come back from them.

Heartbreaking story

This is a very honest book. Alfie takes us through recent years and goes through his marriage break up and the heartache that left him with. But he also looks forward to the future with positivity.

A sad but refreshing read.

Alfie reading his own words gave it a real poignancy especially the chapters about his marriage breakdown and period in rehabilitation. Nobody really knows what happens behind closed doors, Despite the front of a perfect, happy and successful life and career, Alfie shows how it can happen to anyone. There are many positives in the book also, including the joy and pride in his voice when he talks about his children. I hope he continues to be successful in his career and more importantly happy in his personal life

Raw Honesty

I love this from start to finish although I am biased as I am a huge Alfie Boe fan. His raw honesty about everything is inspiring and I could definitely relate to his story. A brilliant listen, thank you for keeping me company on my way to and from work!
