Soft Lad: Coming-of-age Stories

Product Information

The problem with writing a memoir, found Nick Grimshaw as he started his, was that it meant facing himself.

Services across TfL are displaying a vibrant design in support of the LGBTQ+ community and this year's corporate message of "Every Story Matters" has also been brought to life through ourpartnership with well-known LGBTQ+ personalities and with the unwavering support ofour Colleague Network Group, OUTbound, whohelped to shape this campaign. There was the time, shortly after he’d moved to London to work at MTV, that Amy Winehouse ran up and befriended him in the street. I cried in my kitchen while I made a batch of soup and smiled along the lakefront hearing him talk about his family and his childhood and his dreams.It won’t change the world but if you want to sit and have a brew and a chinwag with Nick Grimshaw this is the book for you. Nick Grimshaw has revealed that he was rushed to hospital over fears he was “going to die” after “smoking too much weed”.

London Night Czar, Amy Lamé, said:"Our LGBTQ+ communities make an enormous contribution to life in our capital and this year's campaign across the transport network is a wonderful way to celebrate that. i love Nick Grimshaw to bits, and i’ve been looking forward to this book so much, and it has proven to be one of the best biographical “chats with a friend” i’ve ever listened to. However, after beginning to feel ill, he stepped 'a foot outside' and began to projectile vomit for 'what felt like' half-an-hour. One paranoid drive to the hospital later, Nick confessed medics were hilariously underwhelmed by what had happened. i loved this book, and the only reason it’s not a fiver is the length, it could have been longer and dived even deeper in some themes.

Today: Nick finally leaves the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, after 14 years - the job he dreamt of since childhood. Listened as an audiobook and it was great hearing it told by Grimmy himself, took me right back to morning drives to school listening to his Radio 1 breakfast show, always made me laugh and this book did exactly that, but also had some really genuine moments too.
