Of The Monkees' original four members — Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith — Dolenz is the only one still alive, with his former cast- and band-mates having all passed away. Dolenz continues to sing, tour, and record; his newest EP album Timeless has been released to growing acclaim. Dolenz currently tours with a show billed '60 Years of the Monkees.'
Bego, the author of more than 70 books, including a multimillion-copy-selling book on Michael Jackson, has returned to his role as co-author for the newly updated memoir. In addition to writing a new chapter that updates the scope of Dolenz's ongoing creative work in the 21st century and documents the deaths of Jones, Tork, and Nesmith, Bego has also compiled a new discography for the book.
