內容簡介
The women of the iconic eighties band the Go-Go’s will alwaysbe remembered as they appeared on the back of their debut record:sunny, smiling, each soaking in her own private bubble bath withchocolates and champagne. The photo is a perfect tribute to thefun, irreverent brand of pop music that the Go-Go’s created, but italso conceals the trials and secret demons that the members of thegroup—and, in particular, its lead singer, BelindaCarlisle—struggled with on their rise to stardom.
Leaving her unstable childhood home at the age of eighteen,Belinda battled serious weight issues, having been teased for herpudginess throughout grade school, and grappled with her confusionabout being deserted by her biological father as a child. Thistalented but misguided teen found solace in the punk rock worldthat so openly welcomed misfits—even though acceptance had itsprice.
Not long after forming, the Go-Go’s became queens of the L.A.punk scene—they sold out venues, attracted a fiercely loyal fanbase, and outpartied almost every male band they toured with—and inthe process kicked down the doors to the all-boys’ club of eightiesrock and roll. With a chart-topping debut album, Belinda foundherself launched to international superstardom—and with that famecame more access to A-list parties, and even more alcohol
and drugs to fuel Go-Go’s mania. Inevitably, Belinda began toself-destruct.
Lips Unsealed is filled with the wild stories that BelindaCarlisle fans are dying to hear—stories about the band’s crazy dayson tour with acts like the Police and Madness and the fabulousparties and people to whom the Go-Go’s had exclusive access. Butmore than that, this candid memoir reveals the gritty flip side tothe glitz, as Belinda shares her private struggles with abusiverelationships, weight, and self-esteem, and a thirty-year battlewith drug and alcohol addiction.
This spellbinding and shocking look at her rise, fall, andeventual rebirth as a wife, mother, and sober artist will leave youwistfully fantasizing about the eighties decadence she epitomized,but also cringing at the dark despair hidden behind her charmingsmile. One of the rare adventures through rock stardom told by awoman, Lips Unsealed is ultimately a love letter to music—to themembers of the Go-Go’s, who’ve maintained lifelong friendships, andto the beloved husband and son who led Belinda to sobriety—and thestory of a life that, though deeply flawed, was, and is still,fully lived.
