Big Dreams and Broken Hands 

What happens when a shy kid and his mates in the Forest of Dean start a band for a bit of fun, only to find themselves catapulted to global stardom? This raw, unflinching memoir follows that incredible journey from bedroom rehearsals to platinum albums and stadium crowds screaming your name—chronicling the meteoric rise of EMF, the band behind the massive hit "Unbelievable."

This isn't your typical rock star success story. It explores the dark side of fame without pulling any punches: mental health struggles, broken relationships, drug fuelled shenanigans and industry betrayals. From awkward teenage years to the dizzying heights of international stardom and its devastating aftermath, he chronicles a journey that's both extraordinary and painfully human.

With brutal honesty and sharp humour, this is the story of a drummer who had it all—and lost it all—only to discover what truly matters when the music stops.

This is the first book by the Author Mark Decloedt. 

Mark is best known for his work in the 1990's with the British pop band EMF.
