Pat Gilbert's Passion Is A Fashion: The Real Story Of The Clash is back in a major, fully revised 50th anniversary edition – the essential biography of the band that detonated onto the London scene in 1976 and reshaped modern music.

Drawing on Gilbert’s unrivalled access as a former MOJO editor, this expanded edition goes deeper than ever into the ferocity, ambition, and cultural force of The Clash.

It features exclusive interviews with Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, and Topper Headon, plus managers, crew, producers, and insiders who witnessed the rise firsthand.

This new edition adds fresh material from surviving members and key figures close to the band, offering new insight into the creative chaos, political urgency, and heartbreak that forged their legend.

The revised book will be published on May 14 via The Quarto Group, with pre-orders available now for both physical and ebook editions.
