Unflinching and unmissable' - HEAT *****'An inspiring story from such an inspiring person' - CHRISTIE WATSON'My name is Anthony, but some people know me as Kavana or Kav. I've been called a pop star, a has-been, a heartthrob and a mess. I've been all of them. I once thought fame would give me everything I wanted. Wrong wish. This is my story about life as a 90s pop star, a lost decade in Hollywood, addiction, homelessness, and what it's like being an outsider, desperately trying to get back into a world that's moved on without you. But when things fall apart, it doesn't always mean it's the end. Sometimes it can be the making of you, just not the version you expected.' Pop Scars is a story told with fearless honesty that's as funny as it is heartbreaking, chronicling the highs, the lows and the chaos of hitting rock bottom and then finding out that rock bottom has a basement.
