Barnesy, Farnesy... blue Wiggle? The best music books of 2024
Some icons of music, and a piano teacher, wrote their story this year. Here’s our pick of the greatest music book hits for when the Christmas carols are done.
Two of Australia’s best-known singers released autobiographies in 2024 – and that’s not even counting the one by the blue Wiggle. Throw in a long-awaited memoir by a genuine global superstar (well, it’s actually by a haunting of ghostwriters, as we will get to) and comprehensive histories of household names The Beach Boys and R.E.M, and you have another bumper selection of music books for beneath the tree.
Highways And Byways by Jimmy Barnes (HarperCollins)
