MacCormack was snapping photos the entire time, and those images form the centerpiece of his new book. David Bowie: Rock ‘n’ Roll with Me is Geoff MacCormack’s remarkable photographic memoir, charting his lifelong friendship with David Bowie. After three years of touring, recording and traveling with Bowie, MacCormack started an award winning (Gold Clio, Ivor Novello) music production partnership with Simon Goldenberg who he met, coincidentally, in The Three Tuns pub, home of Bowie’s earlier ‘Arts Lab’. MacCormack’s] new book is about what the rock star was really like behind closed doors in an intimate memoir, which contains 150 images of their adventures, some of which are published for the very first time. Friends since childhood, Geoff MacCormack joined Bowie's band as a backing singer following the release of Ziggy Stardust.

Bowie had played to a sold-out Carnegie Hall in New York in September and followed his debut US tour with a packed-out homecoming gig at London's Rainbow Theatre on Christmas Eve. Alongside his memories, MacCormack opens up his archive of photography, sharing over 150 Rare and Never Before Seen Images of his adventures with the music legend.Nevertheless I stayed with him for another two years, travelling and working on other tours - including Diamond Dogs and Young Americans - and six albums from Aladdin Sane to Station to Station.
