The secret son of a rock star is living on the streets in London two years after the late musician's £4.5million will left him nothing and he 'spent all his money'. Liam Firlej was forced to go to court in a bid to prove the guitarist was his father after he had a year's long-romance with the 38-year-old's mother, Janina. But despite his paternity being confirmed by a DNA test, Liam didn't receive a penny from his father's will when he died in 2020. Liam, an army veteran who quit the forces in 2003 due his opposition to the Iraq War, has been homeless several times in his life, but says this has been the most traumatic. Liam claims he was forced back onto the streets three months ago as he tries to pay care bills for his maternal grandmother, who she raised him in his father's absence.

CRAIG BROWN: Not so long ago, when you could distinguish a businessman from a rock star. There was a distinct divide. In my father's day, businessmen wore suits with navy blue or regimental ties; bowler hats, too. If they had any hair, they kept it short and neat. They were carrying briefcases and umbrellas. They looked like Mr Banks in Mary Poppins, commuted by rail and relaxed over the weekend by playing golf. On the other hand, rock stars, on the other hand, wore T-shirts and frayed jeans. Their hair was long. They looked like Rasputin, travelled by private jet, and relaxed by turning smart cars into hotel swimming ponds.

When it comes to songwriters writing traumatic songs about the exes who broke their hearts, their former lovers' punishment is usually limited to hearing the breakup track played incessantly on the radio (as seen in Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift's "All to Well." However, Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne, the fictional lead singers of the fictional title band, have an enthralling, forbidden chemistry that's only enhanced by the fact that they write their most brutal lyrics about each other and force the other to perform them on tour in front of thousands of followers. Reid denied that she had no knowledge that her book about a 1970s rock band's ascension and fall was partially based on Fleetwood Mac. The legendary band was not limited by its catalogue of timeless hits, but also by its history of interpersonal tensions, a continually evolving lineup of members, and band internals — none more notable than the one between its lead singers, Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham.

Taylor Jenkins Reid's book "Daisy Jones and the Six" on Amazon Prime Video is certainly one of the year's best new TV shows.

The novel (and the TV show) is a new story, both in terms of content and technology. It doesn't use real names or real-life events, but instead presents a "documentary" story about the fictional band of the name, their families, and the creation of their most popular album. However, music enthusiasts will certainly recognize certain plots in the story of a 1970s rock band tense by interpersonal drama and musical conflicts.
