About this listen
In a searingly candid memoir which he authored himself, Grammy Award–winning pop icon Rick Springfield pulls back the curtain on his image as a bright, shiny, happy performer to share the startling story of his rise and fall and rise in music, film, and television and his lifelong battle with depression.
In the 1980s, singer-songwriter and actor Rick Springfield seemed to have it all: a megahit single in “Jessie’s Girl,” sold-out concert tours, follow-up hits that sold more than seventeen million albums and became the pop soundtrack for an entire generation, and twelve million daily viewers who avidly tuned in to General Hospital to swoon over his portrayal of the handsome Dr. Noah Drake. Yet lurking behind his success as a pop star and soap opera heartthrob and his unstoppable drive was a moody, somber, and dark soul, one filled with depression and insecurity.
In Late, Late at Night, the memoir his millions of fans have been waiting for, Rick takes readers inside the highs and lows of his extraordinary life. By turns winningly funny and heartbreakingly sad, every page resonates with Rick’s witty, wry, self-deprecating, brutally honest voice. On one level, he reveals the inside story of his ride to the top of the entertainment world. On a second, deeper level, he recounts with unsparing candor the forces that have driven his life, including his longtime battle with depression and thoughts of suicide, the shattering death of his father, and his decision to drop out at the absolute peak of fame. Having finally found a more stable equilibrium, Rick’s story is ultimately a positive one, deeply informed by his passion for creative expression through his music, a deep love of his wife of twenty-six years and their two sons, and his life-long quest for spiritual peace.

Back in the 80s I first discovered Rick Springfield and his music. I loved his music then and still love it now.
‘Celebrate Youth’ is part of the soundtrack to my life back then. Loved the videos too.
I bought the book and the Audible version too. That was a great move - hearing him tell his story was an absolute delight!
What a fascinating journey and so much is so relatable - incredible considering he’s such a huge star!
I’d like to thank him, his much loved wife, his children, and Audible for sharing this story so openly and unflinchingly.
So, famous or not, it seems we all get distracted, screw up, have hopes & dreams, go through issues, and live and learn.
It was a wild ride and it feels like a conversation with a friend.
It’s funny, sad, human, touching and insightful.
A story of trials, tribulations, highs, and of love.
And I truly hope he’s NOT joking when he says ‘there’s more’.
Felt like I was there with him.
Highly recommended. *****
So good to hear from the man behind the music 🎉
