Few forces in New York hip hop proved as historically important with past, present, and future fandom than the Beastie Boys and Run-DMC. While they burst onto the music scene and crossed over from hip hop to the mainstream in the 1980s, their popularity hasn t even dimmed over the years; in fact, both bands continually find new ardent fans daily. Together Forever is the OG reference to Beastie Boys and Run-DMC s seminal 1987 tour; but this book goes beyond that tour, showcasing all of the iconic photos Glen Friedman took of the bands. The book includes scores of never-before-published shots of both groups in concert, goofing around with varied celebrities like Billy Idol or Rob Lowe, and hanging out together. The book also includes an introduction by Chris Rock and text contributions by the living band members of both groups, as well as contributions by Rick Rubin. Together Forever is the ultimate chronicle assembled by the ultimate photographer for Beastie Boys and Run-DMC fans.
