The Show Won’t Go On, the new book by Jeff Abraham and Burt Kearns, is now on sale!


The long-awaited book from Jeff Abraham and Burt Kearns is now available!

The book is The Show Won't Go On: The Most Shocking, Bizarre, and Historic Deaths of Performers Onstage, and according to the publisher:

"There has never been a show business book quite like The Show Won't Go On, the first comprehensive study of a bizarre phenomenon: performers who died onstage. From the comedy magician who dropped dead on live television to the amateur thespian who expired during a play called The Art of Murder, the book is a celebration of lives both famous and obscure, as well as a dramatic and accurate recounting of events leading to the moments they died "doing what they loved." The Show Won't Go On covers almost every genre of entertainment, and is full of unearthed anecdotes, exclusive interviews, colorful characters and ironic twists. With dozens of heart-stopping stories, it's the perfect book to dip into on any page.

The Show Won't Go On will be published September 3 by Chicago Review Press’ A Cappella Books.  It's available now as a pre-order at a reduced price from Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and other sites.
