Aprašymas

A no-holds-barred look into the remarkable life and career of the prolific musician, songwriter, and producer behind Eurythmics and dozens of pop hits. 

Dave Stewart’s life has been a wild ride—one filled with music, constant reinvention, and the never-ending drive to create. Growing up outside of London, he turned to music after an injury ended his football career, and left his idyllic home for the gritty London streets of the ‘70s, where he began collaborating and performing with various musicians, including a young waitress named Annie Lennox.

The chemistry between Stewart and Lennox was undeniable, and an intense romance developed. While their passion proved too much off-stage, they thrived musically and developed their own sound. They called themselves Eurythmics, and launched into global stardom with the massively popular album, “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).”

For the first time, Stewart shares the never-before-told stories of his life in music—the drugs and the parties, the A-list collaborations and relationships, and the creative process that brought us blockbusters like Tom Petty’s “Don’t Come Around Here No More,” Bon Jovi’s “Midnight in Chelsea,” Celine Dion’s “Taking Chance,” and many more. From great friendships and creative partnerships including the group SuperHeavy with Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Damian Marley, and A.R. Rahmanm, to intimate moments in the studio, Stewart highlights the musicians that he admires and calls friends, from Bono and Bon Jovi to Stevie Nicks and Katie Perry.

With a behind-the-scenes look at Stewart’s innovative endeavors that keep him on the cutting-edge of the music business, Sweet Dreams Are Made of This is a one-of-a-kind look into the creative heart of one of its most gifted and enterprising contributors.
