Synopsis

A stunningly told and deeply personal memoir from the lead singer of Irish rockband Kodaline.

Lead singer of the hugely successful Irish rock band Kodaline, Steve Garrigan plays to thousands of fans worldwide - his business is being in the spotlight. But for years, Steve was privately battling his own demons.

Here in this deeply personal memoir, he shares his experiences. From his childhood growing up in Dublin and the shyness that only dissolved when he was playing an instrument or in front of a microphone, to the highs of rock star success touring and playing stadiums, to the lows of anxiety, depression and panic attacks and how he was to discover that it was only by sharing his deepest vulnerability that he was able to work through the darkness. High Hopes is the candid account of how everyone carries a story - and how by embracing all the different parts of our true selves, we will ultimately find freedom and happiness.
