Lipstick and Leather: On the Road with the World’s Most Notorious Rock Stars

Kim Hawes

What do Motoerhead, Black Sabbath, Elvis Costello, Rush and Chumbawumba have in common? Kim Hawes, pioneering female tour manager. Through hard work, hard partying and hard times, Kim hurled a TV through the glass ceiling of the male-dominated music industry. Sleeping on tour buses, kicking superstars offstage and pranking members of the world’s biggest rock bands, Kim has done it all. Lipstick and Leather is no ordinary tale of life on the road.
