Wayne Sleep has danced with ballet legends Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, partied with Freddie Mercury and performed with Princess Diana, becoming her close friend. Behind the glitz and glamour, Wayne always felt like an outsider: a working-class, gay man coming up against the prejudices of his generation and living through the Aids epidemic. In this moving – but also laugh-out-loud and gossip filled – memoir, Wayne Sleep shows how he danced his way to success, fulfilment and love, and how he overcame obstacles and prejudice along the way.

“This is a terrific and very entertaining book considering Wayne once told me that he had never read past page seven of any book.” – David Hockney
