Cherish is my first book, a compilation of fans' memories about what it means to be a David Cassidy fan.
Memories and tributes are from around the world as fans, friends, former colleagues and band-mates share their thoughts on how David influenced them in many different ways, amusing anecdotes and examples of his kindness.
I invited fans to contribute their memories and was overwhelmed at the response which came through in the form of essays, short stories, poetry, diary entries, photographs and open letters to him.
Started in 2016, Cherish is a celebration of David's life through the memories of those who loved and respected him for decades, as well as younger fans who have discovered him and his music.
Every story in Cherish is a singular experience, a thematic journey but when brought together they provide stops on the adventure with David at the heart of everything his fans have ever done.
In being so honest about themselves exposing their emotions and life stories they have made themselves emotionally vulnerable as they opened their hearts to share their life experiences and the role David Cassidy played in them
And every page is full of love, beautiful memories which bring smiles, laughter, happiness and a few tears. These memories, which echo across time, have been written by his fans in their own words.
Now in a celebration of his life his fans and friends explain in their own words how David Cassidy impacted on them, his influence and friendship; the lasting legacy of love and music he left.
We want to remember the good things David did in life, how gracious he was, a kind soul and generous of spirit and ultimately how he made us feel. With these happy memories we can show he is forever in our hearts as we turn the pages and smile remembering a very special man who made the world a better place.
David occupies a special place in the hearts of millions around the world. These are their stories.
