David Byrne is one of the most influential figures in modern music. As the frontman of Talking Heads, he helped create songs including ‘Psycho Killer’, ‘Once in a Lifetime’ and ‘Burning Down the House’, before building a career as a solo musician, writer and filmmaker. His new book, 'Sleeping Beauties: Why Good Ideas Go Dormant and How They Wake Up', explores why some artists, inventions and ideas are forgotten before being rediscovered.
