That's the way you do it!

Looking forward to it Chris! I take it a mix of your photos and stories from the tour?

Good luck with it.

Great news Chris.

Actually I thought you would do a book with photographs of both Macca and DS tour, any chance there is another about Macca after?

Great cover

Will def. be getting this, thanks Chris!

What excellent news, I look forward to it, we will certainly have a very welcome angle on this historic moment for DS.👏🏻👏🏻 🙌🏻

Who knows, maybe at some point we will also have the same luck with a book written by the great Ed, that wouldn't be bad either. 🖖🏻👽❤️

Chris, I've got to ask: Why do you choose to publish a book about the tour that for you had almost no highlights and which was so terrible that you retired from drumming for a long, long time? (As a an enthusiast photographer myself, I'm looking forward to seeing the photos, though!)

I am not sure if Chris is really serious about it?

I thought about that too

It's on his Instagram page, so I guess it is. Plus Chris doesn't quite strike me as a prankster

Chris said in his Instagram that he was scanning his old pictures in order to do a photo book.

I also thought it would be about his big tours with McCartney and DS, and recording with Paul, but seems it's only about DS.

I'm doing the book because I'm very proud of the photos. It is all about the pictures. I've just written a short paragraph with a couple of facts and anecdotes for each chapter. The tour was effectively 6 legs, so I've done 6 chapters.
I'm not digging any dirt or spreading any gossip, it's just a description of the leg and a couple of things that happened on that leg.
I will post some more info tomorrow, including the price.
Ed Bicknell has written an amusing foreword for me.
Again, it's all about the pictures. There are over 80, most never seen before, not even by the band. Over the years I've probably shown 10 or 12 via Instagram, but the other 70 odd have never been seen before this book.
They are a mix of soundcheck pictures, things from travel days, photos of the fans, a couple of showtime pictures (although I was usually too busy).
There wasn't a regular photographer documenting the tour, so this is it, my version of the tour in pictures.

The DS book has taken two years, albeit not every day or even every week. But the negatives had scratches and a lot of dust, so it's taken me hours of work to clean them enough to publish a book.
There probably will be a Macca book, but maybe not for at least two years as I haven't even scanned those negatives. I didn't have a camera at the start of the McCartney tour, so I only documented the later two thirds of that tour, and I was learning to use a camera too.
