Summary Chuck's personal website receives thousands of hits and he receives tremendous fan support from around-the-world. Though books and movies on rock groups abound, there are not yet any published books on either STYX or Chuck Panozzo. His is an illuminating story, written by Chuck (one of the two original founders of one of the longest lasting arena bands in the history of rock 'n' roll), and co-author and professional journalist, Michel Skettino. After 25 years of continual success in the music industry, STYX remains an enormously successful rock band, touring the world every year for the last fifteen, and winning new fans around-the-world with each successive appearance.; With four consecutive triple-platinum albums and 25 million in record sales, a natural market exists for this new book title, and with STYX' millions of fans worlwide, along with ongoing concerts being performed constantly in this country and abroad (attracting even greater audiences and younger fans), the telling of this story is both timely and is sure to speak to both gay audiences and adoring fans of rock and roll
