Inside, you'll walk through sunlit childhoods in Manchester and Brisbane, witness the rise of a musical trio transformed by Maurice's melodic vision, and feel the weight of fame that nearly tore him apart. You'll stand in the glow of disco's greatest hits-backstage and in the studio-seen through the eyes of the brother who soothed tensions and held it all together. You'll know his laughter over paintball in Miami, his battle with alcohol and fight for sobriety, and the secret illness that stole his breath.

This is for anyone who treasures songs that stirred their souls, families who weather storms together, or thinkers who believe genius sometimes lives in the quietest corners. Open this book, and you'll not only meet the man behind the music-you might discover something in yourself.
