When Peter Gabriel left rock royalty Genesis in 1975 for personal reasons, his musical future was full of uncertainty. But within 18 months, he returned in style with his debut solo album and a hit single, "Solsbury Hill." It set him on a path that has allowed his talent to blossom through the decades. Never one to stand still, Gabriel has constantly reinvented himself, never afraid to experiment and explore new musical avenues. His willingness to collaborate with all manner of people has also resulted in film scores and joint projects with a diverse range of artists, from Kate Bush to Martin Scorcese, as well as Sinead OConnor, King Crimson's Robert Fripp, and Coldplay's Chris Martin. His passion for world music has seen his long-standing commitment to the WOMAD Festival, and outside of music, political activism and humanitarian issues have played a big part in his life. With Gabriel now in his seventh decade, "A Life in Vision" is a chronological, visual biography of his extraordinary and colorful career. From the early days of Genesis through to the present day, it is crammed full of glorious photography, much of which is previously unpublished, along with a timeline narrative by Genesis aficionado Alan Hewitt.
