Now, THE original celebrity bodyguard is ready to reveal his astonishing story and share his intimate personal photographs of many of the greatest entertainers in THE FIRST ROCK N ROLL BODYGUARD. In fact, he served as the prototype for the film "The Bodyguard" starring Kevin Costner. Says Weaver, "I toured, ate, and sometimes slept with these singers and groups, refereed their post-gig dust-ups, and dealt with drug dealers (I either paid them or bent them out of shape)." Born in 1935, Alf grew up with London's notorious East End gangsters. After a promising career as a boxer and a stint int he army, Weaver set out his shingle, plying his distinctive craft for pop music's royalty. Over the next four decades, he was present during practically every epoch-making and icon-defining moment in pop history, along the way becoming a trusted intimate of those he protected. Weaver has worked with hundreds of rock superstars, including Elton John, The Who, Elvis Presley, Otis Redding, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Robbie Williams, and countless others. In THE FIRST ROCK N ROLL BODYGUARD, ALf Weaver offers a unique perspective on life with the stars -- a story that reads like a fantastic work of fiction, but is ALL true.Read More
