Do You Feel Like I Do? is the
incredible story of Peter Frampton's positively resilient life and
career told in his own words for the first time. His monu-mental album Frampton Comes Alive! spawned
three top-twenty singles and sold eight million copies the year it was
released (more than seventeen million to date), and it was inducted into
the Grammy Hall of Fame in January 2020.
Frampton was on a path
to stardom from an early age, first as the lead singer and guitarist of
the Herd and then as cofounder—along with Steve Marriott—of one of the
first supergroups, Humble Pie. Frampton was part of a tight-knit
collective of British '60s musicians with close ties to the Rolling
Stones, the Beatles, and the Who. This led to Frampton playing on George
Harrison's solo debut, All Things Must Pass,
as well as to Ringo Starr and Billy Preston appearing on Frampton's own
solo debut. By age twenty-two, Frampton was touring incessantly and
finding new sounds with the talk box, which would become his signature
guitar effect.
Frampton remembers his enduring friendship with
David Bowie. Growing up as schoolmates, crossing paths throughout their
careers, and playing together on the Glass Spider Tour, the two
developed an unshakable bond. Frampton also shares fascinating stories
of his collaborative work with Harry Nilsson, Stevie Wonder, B. B. King,
and members of Pearl Jam. He reveals both the blessing and curse of Frampton Comes Alive!,
opening up about becoming the cover boy he never wanted to be, his
overcoming sub-stance abuse, and how he has continued to play and pour
his heart into his music despite an inflammatory muscle disease and his
retirement from the road.
Peppered throughout his narrative is
the story of his favorite guitar, the Phenix, which he thought he'd lost
in a fiery plane crash in 1980. But in 2011, it mysteriously showed up
again—saved from the wreckage. Frampton tells of that unlikely reunion
here in full for the first time, and why the miraculous reappearance is
emblematic of his life and career as a quintessential artist.
