***NOW AVAILABLE!!! The decadent autobiography of HANOI ROCKS co-founder ANDY MCCOY, Sheriff McCoy: Legend of Hanoi Rocks, is now available in English for the first time in a deluxe hardcover edition through Bazillion Points Books. Touted as “the last great rock ‘n’ roll memoir,” Andy McCoy’s autobiography covers the legendary guitarist’s life and exploits from childhood through the early 2000s rekindling of Hanoi Rocks.
