Formed in 1988, Lush were part of the London gig scene during one of the most vibrant and creative periods in UK music. Now lead singer Miki Berenyi tells all in an uncompromising autobiography set to be a classic of life as a woman in the music business. In 'FINGERS CROSSED; how Music Saved Me From Success' she tells of her extraordinary and terrifying childhood, the thrilling rise and tragic fall of Lush and her own battles - the conflict between her mouthy public persona and her thin-skinned private identity; the trials of being a woman in a misogynistic male world and of navigating sell-out international success. Breathtakingly honest and one of the rare autobiographies actually written by its subject, this frank and funny memoir was published by Bonnier's Nine Eight Books music imprint in September 2022.
FINGERS CROSSED was Rough Trade Book of the Year. A Rolling Stone Book of the Year. A Mojo Book of the Year. A Sunday Times Book of the Year
