About the Author
Tony O'Neill is a raw and unflinching chronicler of the underbelly of rock 'n' roll excess, drawing from his own tumultuous life as a musician and survivor of addiction. Born into the gritty streets of New York, O'Neill immersed himself in the punk scene of the 1970s, rubbing shoulders with icons while battling personal demons that nearly destroyed him. His writing captures the electric chaos of fame, the seductive pull of drugs, and the hard-won path to redemption with brutal honesty and poetic intensity. Best known for his memoir Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway, which offers an insider's candid autobiography of '70s punk rock, addiction, and fame, O'Neill's work resonates with readers seeking authentic tales of resilience amid self-destruction. Today, he continues to explore themes of recovery and reinvention through his evocative prose.
