Product Description

Daily Express
'In his autobiography he intimately reveals the passion and drama
behind his astounding career.' --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
From the international star of "Riverdance", "Lord of the Dance" and, now, "Celtic Tiger", comes a no-holds-barred autobiography that reveals the person, the passion and the drama behind Michael Flatley's astonishing career. Michael describes growing up as the son of Irish immigrants in a tough Chicago neighbourhood and the many years he struggled to make real his dream of becoming a professional Irish dancer. He was in his mid-thirties when he was asked to create "Riverdance" for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, bursting onto our television screens with a dazzling dance sequence. Just as his dreams were being realised, Michael was shattered when he and "Riverdance" parted company. Now Michael explains what really happened backstage and describes how he went on to create the enormously successful "Lord of the Dance". Michael also deals openly with the controversies that have surrounded his success, such as the 2003 rape charge, his turbulent love life and the illness and injuries that have threatened his career. Filled with commentary from family, friends and colleagues and brimming with Michael's Irish charm and good humour, this book is the very personal story of a man who has lived life to the fullest according to his own credo: nothing is impossible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spellbinding Michael Flatley, 29 Jan 2006
I first became a fan of Michael Flatley when I saw him in Riverdance, then on DVD in Lord of the Dance. Recently I have been to see the live show of Lord of the Dance - it was fantastic, the only improvement would have been to see Michael Flatley dancing. I have now purchased Michael Flatley Gold and Feet of Flames on DVD and no matter how many times I watch them, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end - superb, fantastic. Michael Flatley is a truly talented man - his flute solo was just beautiful and haunting. Highly recommended. I have just ordered Celtic Tiger which comes out on DVD in Europe in April.

5.0 out of 5 stars REALLY GOOD !!, 5 Aug 2004
By A Customer
I have just bought and watched Lord of the Dance and it is absolutely great. Even my 2 kids (9 and 6) watched it all the way through and more. The show is awesome, the dancing wonderful, Micheal Flatley can be proud of himself on there, he (well they all) deserve all the standing ovations they got. WELL WORTH BUYING !

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 26 Jan 2006
I first saw lord of the dance on video. Recently I went to see the live show in Nottingham. It was an excellent show, the dance routines second to none, the stories were played out brilliantely.I must say though I wish that I could have seen Michael Flatley dance, I dont think there is anyone that could touch him, he has a certain panache that is inbuilt. I will purchase more of Michael Flatleys work in the future.For quality and value it cant fail.
Thank you Mr Flatley you have revived some of me that I thought had gone forever.
