He would achieve his ambition with a mixture of vaulting talent and colossal chutzpah. Drug use and a reticence to tour were his Achilles heels, and he succumbed to a dissolute lifestyle just as superstardom was beckoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite endorsements from the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, Lee's subsequent career was erratic and haunted by the shadow of \u003ci\u003eForever Changes\u003c\/i\u003e, reaching a nadir with his imprisonment in 1996 for a firearms offence. Redemption followed, culminating in an astonishing postmillennial comeback that found him playing \u003ci\u003eForever Changes\u003c\/i\u003e to adoring, multi-generational fans around the world. This upswing was only interrupted by his untimely death from leukemia in 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with the full consent and cooperation of Arthur's widow, Diane Lee, \u003ci\u003eForever Changes\u003c\/i\u003e is a meticulously researched biography that includes lengthy extracts from Arthur's vivid, comic, and poignant memoirs, published here for the first time.
