Celebrities are just like us. They have bad times, a lot of them, actually. In addition to their creative contributions, famous artists can also give hope to their sometimes equally struggling fans.
In Hit Hard, Joey Kramer reveals his turbulent battle with severe depression and addiction to drugs and alcohol. As the drummer of the mega-popular band, Aerosmith, he seemingly led a glamorous and blessed life. Now, in his memoir, Kramer shares his full story of hitting rock bottom.
This is the tale of an average kid from an average American suburb who went through physical and emotional trauma. He suffered through years of depression and a nervous breakdown at the height of the band’s comeback success. Ultimately, Hit Hard is about how Kramer recognized his confusion between love and abuse and awakened to the kind of self-acceptance and compassion that make relationships possible in the “real world” – all the while as a member of one of the biggest bands in American history.
