Renowned director Julien Temple hands you an access-all-areas backstage pass to the Madness frontman's mind as he attempts the dare-devil stunt of single-handedly unravelling the mysteries of his own life.

The death of Suggs’ beloved cat on his fiftieth birthday triggers a personal quest to discover what happened to the father he never knew. Stunned by what he learns Suggs is taken back through his life to a childhood on the streets of Soho featuring music written by The Kinks, Prince Buster, Ian Drury and, of course, his beloved Madness.

Director Julien Temple (The Great Rock n Roll Swindle, Absolute Beginners) takes a stage show, adds some drama, archive, animation and music, then shakes it all up for My Life Story where singer Suggs, takes a hilarious, yet moving, look back at his life in music and words.
