Hay: biography of the biggest rock star of the Netherlands

The authorized biography of the greatest rock star the Netherlands has ever known

'Suddenly I was a superstar. It was a madhouse around me, absolutely fantastic. I could get anything I wanted, and I took advantage of that. I was just incredibly arrogant, I didn't care about the whole world. You couldn't have a serious word with me, I just tried to throw you off track. I was unmanageable, that's it. An unguided missile. I just did whatever, and I got away with everything. That can make you very unbearable.'
'Yes, he was really a prince back then,' says Sandra. 'But after that he fell flat on his face, you know.'

Barry Hay, lead singer of the biggest rock band in the Netherlands: The Golden Earring. Sixty-seven years old, but still no lack of star quality. Super fit, characteristic face with sunglasses, tattoos, jet black hair and a voice that has been moving crowds all over the world for fifty years.
In Hay he talks openly about his life in and out of the spotlight, about his turbulent youth, family, his bond with his motherland India, his great love Sandra, and of course his rise to stardom full of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll.
