Former Shihad frontman Jon Toogood is on a different sort of tour than he’s used to.
He’s written a book, ‘Home Again’, that explores his 37 year career with a band that helped define New Zealand rock music.
It’s filled with personal stories both from Toogood’s childhood and the years Shihad spent on the road – touring and performing around the world.
While he’s not necessarily one to look backwards, Toogood found writing the book to be a cathartic experience.
“I didn’t realise it, I mean it sounds preposterous, I didn’t realise how much my whole life was revolved around music,” he told Mike Hosking.
