After The Fame – Growing Up Nelson

Matthew and Gunnar Nelson tell the true story behind their famous last name – growing up as the sons of Ricky Nelson and the grandsons of Ozzie & Harriet, and why their childhood was nothing like the sitcom America thought it was. They open up about their turbulent family life, losing their father in a tragic plane crash, and why the long-standing rumors about that crash are completely wrong. They also break down their own meteoric rise in the MTV era with “(Can’t Live Without Your) Love and Affection,” what it was like becoming teen heartthrobs overnight, and why being judged by their image nearly derailed their music careers. Matthew and Gunnar talk about being written off as “trust fund kids,” how they really made their money (and lost it), the brutal realities of the record business, and how their bond as twins kept them going. They also share incredible stories about Prince complimenting their style, Henry Rollins becoming an unlikely ally, and how a James Gunn connection landed their music on the DC’s Peacemaker on HBOMax. Plus, they dive deep into their new book, What Happened To Your Hair, a brutally honest, funny, and emotional look at fame, family, tragedy, and resilience, and why now was finally the time to tell their story in their own words.
