He co-founded Factory Records and The Hacienda, he kick-started Joy Division, Happy Mondays and New Order and he was the inspiration for 24 Hour Party People. From a childhood growing up with a gay father and a domineering mother to his tragic death in 2007 after battling the NHS for a drug that could prolong his life, David Nolan investigates the man they called 'Mr Manchester'. Drawing on interviews with musicians, DJs, writers, actors, family and friends - including Wilson's partner Yvette Livesey - Nolan paints a picture of a driven, chaotic man whose influence is still felt today in music and television. Everybody knows the legend - Tony Wilson spent a lifetime creating it - for the first time, here's the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Blake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47606287302807,"sku":"9781844549900","price":1369.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781844549900.webp?v=1775032263","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tony-wilson-youre-entitled-to-an-opinion-but-the-high-times-and-many-lives-of-the-man-behind-factory-records-and-the-hacienda-9781844549900","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
