The intimate and uplifting memoir from one of Britain's most loved singers - this is Alfie, off stage. Bringing his characteristic sense of cheeky humor to the page, in this heartfelt book Alfie describes for the first time the highs and lows of over a decade of singing and performing across the world. From personal dinners with Queen Elizabeth II and following in the steps of King of Rock 'n' Roll Elvis in Vegas to mischievous antics with Michael Ball, Alfie's book takes us backstage to witness his brilliant career memories. But this book is also a heartfelt insight into Alfie's unmasked truth for the first time. His unflinching honesty reveals not only the success stories but also the pressures and how, through challenging times, he learned more about himself than he ever thought possible. Laying bare the events that have shaped Alfie into the performer he is today, Face the Music demonstrates to us all that it's not our mistakes that define us - but instead, how we choose to come back from them. As a young boy, Lancashire-born Alfie Boe (from the fishing port of Fleetwood) dreamed of a career as a singer. Having conquered the world's most prestigious opera stages, led the cast of Les Miserables for nearly a year, and stolen the show  at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace, he has certainly succeeded. Always striving to bring good music to different audiences, after three sold-out UK Tours (including the Royal Festival Hall and the Royal Albert Hall), Boe has hundreds of thousands of fans, having achieved Platinum album sales in the UK, and four top ten album placings.
