In No Secrets, Buzz recounts his journey from his first drum kit to becoming a powerhouse drummer, session musician, songwriter, producer and manager.

From sharing the stage with mates to touring alongside David Bowie, The Kinks, and Cheap Trick, Buzz eloquently describes how the journey to stardom can often descend into struggles with egos, unfulfilled dreams and personal challenges.
