Pirate the Rock Band - Pirate (the Rock Band) Series, #1

It's summer 1984, and a lonely rock star desperate for a more normal life battles against the forces inside and outside the band that stand in his way Jack St James, lead singer and songwriter for hard rock band Pirate, is not your average rock star. The boys in the band may be thrilled with the rock star lifestyle, but control freak Jack doesn't do drugs and can't stand to be touched. After four years of non-stop touring and recording, he's had it with the loneliness and monotony of life on the road. His dream life is now within reach - retiring to an estate in the English countryside, making a family, and playing music for fun - but only if the band makes it through the next ten days of their sold-out American tour with no major hiccups.
Then he can escape the record company and have enough money to make his dream come true. Jack soon discovers that everyone, consciously or unconsciously, is out to foil him: his duplicitous manager (and best friend) Dunk who wants the band to keep going, the lead and bass guitarists rebelling against his iron control, a conniving and coked-up record company executive, and a beautiful and infamous groupie sowing discord within the band.
Not to mention a whiny and incompetent tour bus driver named Mick.    As they each discover in turn, Jack is not one to take anyone's shenanigans lying down. Jack's blood is up and the game is on. "If you've ever wanted to be, or be with, a rock star or play in a rock band, this book is for you." -Dunk MacGregor, Pirate's forthright and honorable manager Content advisory: In keeping with the 1980s era and settings, this book contains adult themes and language and potentially upsetting content. This is book 1 in the Pirate (the Rock Band) series.
