However, it wasn't always easy. Graham grew up as an Army kid, moving frequently in his early years from West Germany to Derbyshire and Winchester before settling in Colchester, Essex. A shy child, he had a thing for eating soil and drawing intense visions; his anxiety was tempered by painting and a growing love of music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese twin passions grew into obsessions, and as he honed his artistic skill at school, Goldsmiths, and beyond, his band with school friend Damon Albarn, fellow student Alex James, and a drummer called Dave Rowntree began to get noticed. But there are things they don't tell you before you get famous. There are monsters out there. And some may even be lurking inside yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVerse, Chorus, Monster! is an intimate, honest reflection on music, fame, addiction, and art by one of Britain's most iconic musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 570g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 243 x 33 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780571322138\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Main\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graham Coxon","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097028358394,"sku":"9780571322138","price":14.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1665179939395_book.jpg?v=1665343369","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/verse-chorus-monster-9780571322138","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
