Description:... Now living a reclusive existence in a Cambridge terrace, Syd has not given an interview for more than 30 years. But in his half-life he has become a cult icon of rock - as Hendrix, Morrison and Cobain became after their deaths.

In Madcap, Tim Willis traces the history of rock's lost genius, gains exclusive access to those closest to Syd throughout his life, and brings his crazy, illuminating story up to the present day.
