Together with rare unseen footage we chart his progress from his poor beginnings, through his teenage years to the eventual meteoric rise of a star. Here you can see the events unfold in his life, which were to colour and shape his career, including his call up and the later battle with his weight to the sudden and unbelievable end of the rock 'n' roll legend.
