'Hilarious and wonderfully self-deprecating ... beautifully eloquent'
Gay Times

In 2001 Will Young shot to fame as the first winner of Pop Idol. More than ten years later he has become one of our best-loved artists. Funny Peculiar is his moving, witty and scrupulously honest autobiography.

From the crazy reality of being famous, to coming out in the glare of the media spotlight, to his valiant struggles against depression, Will is open about both the highs and lows of his life. If you've ever wondered what it's like to attend a fashion show (and accidentally wave at Anna Wintour); how it feels to sing in front of thousands while fighting a catastrophic bout of low self-esteem; or be subjected to the terror that is a This Morning 'makeover', then Funny Peculiar reveals all. It also reveals what not to say when you meet David Beckham.

'Underpinning all the charm and gentle humour, his is a story about coping'

'Entertaining . . . Will Young is a man of many parts and now he can say with some pride that he is an amusing writer, too'
