Here Comes The Sun by Jeremy Oxley and Mary Oxley Griffths

Here Comes The Sun is the joint autobiography of Jeremy Oxley musician and member of the legendary Australian 80's group the Sunnyboys and his wife Mary. In this book they talk about their upbringings Jeremy in Northern New South Wales and Mary in Brisbane, Jeremy started get into music as a teenager which he played in Wooden Horse and Golden Syrup and forming with his brother Peter form the Sunnyboys who would become one of the popular Australian groups of the 80's who would go on to have successful hit singles including alone With You, Happy Man and You Need A Friend which the group would last until 1984, Mary becoming an nurse and marrying Griff which they would have 2 sons before he passed away from cancer, Jeremy having mental illness which he had schizophrenia which he tried to hide it from friends and family as well as his bandmates as well as having drinking problems as well as living as a hermit in a small town in New South Wales, meeting Mary who was an Sunnyboys fan and it was her and her sons that would get his life back together which they would marry in 2008 and many others. It is a sad,touching, impressive,FANTASTIC and an BRILLIANT book with great and touching stories stories which I enjoyed reading it. Jeremy is back on the road with the Sunnyboys which they have been back together since 2012 and will be doing a tour next year with Ratcat, Hoodoo Gurus, Violent Femmes and Died Pretty and there was a documentary about Jeremy 2 years ago which it's on DVD. This DVD is a must for the fans of the Sunnyboys as well as fans of Australian 80's music and I give this 5 stars which it's in the shops now so do yourself a favour and BUY IT.
