Elvis Costello is an English musician, singer-songwriter, and record producer. He was born on August 25, 1954 in London, England. In the early years of his career, he gained recognition as part of the group Elvis Costello & The Attractions. However, in 1996, the band recorded their last album and underwent some lineup changes. They reformed in 2002 with a new bassist and adopted a new name: The Imposters.
Throughout his career, Elvis Costello has been known for his diverse musical style and thought-provoking lyrics. His talent has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. In addition to his music career, he is also recognized for his marriage to Diana Krall since 2003.

Born Declan Patrick MacManus, Elvis Costello was raised in London and Liverpool, grandson of a trumpet player on the White Star Line and son of a jazz musician who became a successful radio dance band vocalist. Costello went into the family business and had taken the popular music world by storm before he was twenty-four.Costello continues to add to one of the most intriguing and extensive songbooks of the day. His performances have taken him from a cardboard guitar in his front room to fronting a rock and roll band on your television screen and performing in the world's greatest concert halls in a wild variety of company. Unfaithful Music describes how Costello's career has somehow endured for almost four decades through a combination of dumb luck and animal cunning, even managing the occasional absurd episode of pop stardom.This memoir, written with the same inimitable touch as his lyrics, and including dozens of images from his personal archive, offers his unique view of his unlikely and sometimes comical rise to international success, with diversions through the previously undocumented emotional foundations of some of his best known songs and the hits of tomorrow. The book contains many stories and observations about his renowned co-writers and co-conspirators, though Costello also pauses along the way for considerations on the less appealing side of infamy.Unfaithful Music &amp; Disappearing Ink is destined to be a classic, idiosyncratic memoir of a singular man.
