The Kelly Khumalo story - Softcover

Kelly Khumalo is an award-winning Kwaito star who rose to national fame at the age of 21, but due to a string of bad decisions and relationships, she soon lost her shine. This book tracks the life and times of the fallen township pop princess: her plummet from grace, disastrous relationships with men, her addiction to cocaine, and finally her hardfought battle back to sanity and her real love-music. Offering a rare glimpse into the backstage of the South African music industry, rife with sensation and backstabbing, this is a tale of highs, lows, and personal triumphs. Told by a mentor and friend of Khumalo's along with her manager, the story provides readers with intimate and brutally real access to Khumalo's journey of rebuilding and redemption.
