On July 9th, media maverick and serial thrill-seeker Steve Blacknell finally tells all in his explosive memoir, Tales From The Bedroom Wall – The Life & Times of a Serial Thrill Seeker. Published by Old Treacle Press, the book is as unpredictable and compelling as the man himself – featuring a foreword from Rolling Stones’ legend Bill Wyman.
From presenting BBC’s Riverside to flying on Concorde to Live Aid with Phil Collins, Blacknell’s life is a patchwork of jaw-dropping moments, famous friendships, crushing setbacks, and raw personal battles. He’s dated Kate Bush, played table tennis with Bill Wyman, and interviewed rock royalty – yet behind the glamor is a story of vulnerability, addiction, and resilience.
Now 72, Blacknell reflects on a life lived without a safety net. Tales From The Bedroom Wall is more than a celebrity memoir – it’s a story of redemption, reinvention, and sheer rock ‘n’ roll chaos. Expect laughs, gasps, and a few tears too.
Out July 9th, in digital and hardback. You won’t want to miss this.
