A new book promising to give insight into David and Victoria Beckham’s “private lives” is hitting shelves this June.
Harper Collins announced it has acquired the world rights to The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power, written by celebrated British investigative biographer, Tom Bower.
It will be publishing the book globally in hardback, audiobook and eBook.
The book explores the pair’s rise to “one of the most famous and influential couples in the world” and the establishment of their “multi-billion-dollar” global brand — much of which was introduced,
along with an inside glimpse into their private lives — in their 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham.
In addition, Bower’s new book pledges to take fans behind the screens to answer questions raised in the documentary about their “success
and personal relationship,” as well as the “ruthlessly successful management of their image” in the media. He said he seeks to answer the question, “Are their lives really as perfect as the Beckhams would like the world to believe?”
Bowers said in a press release that through “extensive research, expert sourcing and interviews with insiders,” he has new information that will shed “surprising insight” into the reality of “Brand Beckham.”
According to the publisher’s synopsis, the book will take readers through the Beckhams’ soccer and fashion careers, finances and new lives in Miami, among other things, in order to paint a picture of the “business-savvy cultural icons” and tell their story of “money, sex and power.”
“When I started researching the Beckhams for the book, I was sure that an in-depth account of their lives would be a hugely entertaining and revealing read, but even I was surprised to discover such a compelling, previously untold story,” Bower said in a statement accompanying the release.
“The Beckhams have dominated headlines, social media feeds and watercooler conversations for over two decades and they remain a fascinating and enduring cultural phenomenon,” said Publisher Adam Humphrey, who oversaw the publication of the book in the U.K.
“The House of Beckham is a hugely compelling behind-the-scenes account of their lives and there is simply no better writer than Tom Bower to tell it,” he added.
Bower, an investigative historian, broadcaster and journalist, has extensive knowledge of the lives of the rich, famous and royal. Having previously worked as a former producer and reporter for BBC Television for 25 years, he went on to publish several bestselling books including Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, Rebel King: The Making of a Monarch and Dangerous Hero: Corbyn’s Ruthless Plot for Power.
