Lips Unsealed: A Memoir - Paperback (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

by Belinda Carlisle (Author)

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A spellbinding and shocking look at Belinda Carlisle's role in forming the Go-Go's and her rise, fall, and eventual rebirth as a wife, mother, and sober artist

"An unflinching look back . . . with heartbreaking honesty and a wry sense of humor."--USA Today

The women of the iconic eighties band the Go-Go's will always be remembered as they appeared on the back of their debut record: sunny, smiling, each soaking in her own private bubble bath with chocolates and champagne. The photo is a perfect tribute to the fun, irreverent brand of pop music that the Go-Go's created, but it also conceals the trials and secret demons that the members of the group--in particular, its lead singer, Belinda Carlisle--struggled with on their rise to stardom.

Lips Unsealed is Belinda's story in her own words--from her crazy days on tour with the Go-Go's to her private problems with abusive relationships, self-esteem, and a thirty-year battle with addiction. Ultimately, it is a love letter to music, the lifelong friendships between the members of the Go-Go's, the beloved husband and son who led Belinda to sobriety, and a life which, though deeply flawed, was--and is still--fully lived.
