From extensive interviews with Perrett himself, his wife Zena, and former group members, Nina Antonia reveals the luminous but turbulent history behind The Only Ones. Illustrated with rare archive photographs, this intensely personal biography follows the cycle of detox and relapse afflicting one of England's most promising songwriters, and his  journey toward a renewed creativity.
 

“A drug counselor and the author of In Cold Blood (Johnny Thunders biography) Antonia is the ideal chronicler of Perrett ’s rise and fall. From his time as drug dealer, to the smack sojourn in British punk band The Only Ones, Perrett’s tale is one of self-abuse and staggering selfishness. Antonia’s interviews reveal an individual in a twilight of sex, drugs and narcissism.”—Select Magazine
