Crazy Lucky: Remarkable Stories from Inside the World of Celebrity Icons - Hardcover

by John Mason (Author), Priscilla Presley (Foreword by)

Most lawyers aren't like John Mason. Then again, most lawyers don't do what he does.

For decades, John Mason has been a confidante, mediator, and last line of defense for some of the most visible artists in the world: from Brian Wilson and Roy Orbison, to Reba McEntire and the Jackson Five, to Quincy Jones, Shakira, and his dear friend of over forty years, Olivia Newton-John. In Crazy Lucky, he tells their stories from his perspective, and shows us what it means to truly have someone's back.

A butcher's son with humble origins, John Mason has guided his clients through multi-million dollar lawsuits, divorces, child custody issues, and stalkers, while also helping to navigate breakdowns, illness, physical and mental abuse, and a wide variety of legal issues with not just hundreds of millions of dollars, but careers, on the line. Many (if not most) entertainment lawyers work through managers and agents to help celebrities achieve specific goals. Mason, on the other hand, serves as a lynchpin to his clients' inner circle, a steady presence in what is often a privileged, but harrowing lifestyle.

Crazy Lucky is a career retrospective packed with never before heard stories. A fascinating journey for anyone interested in entertainment history, Crazy Lucky shows what it takes to represent the interests of some of the biggest names in the world, in critical, career-defining moments.
