Paula, Michael & Bob - Gerry Agar

'Everything you know is wrong' - this was the message to the world that Paula Yates posted above her doorbell.


Once
upon a time, a rock god met a brainy bombshell TV presenter who was
married to a media 'saint'. When their lives collided, the events that
unfolded were too bizarre even for fiction; the very public seduction
and intense love affair, the fights, the drugs bust, heartbreaking
custody battles, financial deals and the deaths of Paula and Michael
were front-page news for months. But the vital facts of the web the
lovers wove together were kept secret, and the reasons for their deaths
were never clear, even to their family and friends.




Only one
person was there to witness every aspect of the story - Gerry Agar. A
former publicist and Paula's long-term friend, Gerry's life, both
personal and professional, became inextricably tied to those of the
star-crossed lovers, and to the one who would be left behind.




This
is the stuff of modern legend; a red-blooded tragedy played out in the
merciless glare of the media spotlight. Now - five years after Paula's
death, on the eve of INXS's comeback, and the twentieth anniversary of
Bob's Live Aid triumph - here are the facts, divulged in painful and
deeply moving detail, and told with an intimacy that could only be
disclosed by one caught in the centre of the storm. Published for the
first time in paperback, this is Gerry Agar's story of Paula, Michael
& Bob.
