When the Screaming Stops

Their story is one of worldwide pop hysteria coupled with an almost unrelenting behind the scenes darkness. In this revealing work, Simon Spence traces every band member and key associate of their notorious manager Tam Paton (who died in 2009) and maps the influence of their co-managers. The book also includes insights from the band's record label boss Clive Davis, and the perspectives of producers and other industry professionals who helped make the group a global hit. Spence also seeks out family members and former lovers to uncover the personal side of the band, offering a multifaceted view of their ascent and the forces behind it.

In addition to the investigative narrative, the book presents a broad view of the music industry during the height of the band’s fame, balancing public triumph with the complexities of backstage control and personal relationships. The authors aim to present a balanced portrait by including varied viewpoints from those who shaped the band’s trajectory.
