The 1970s and 1980s were the golden age of rock and pop. During these decades, Swiss photographer Hannes Schmid accompanied over 250 bands and singers. His images of stars such as Alice Cooper (above) and Marianne Faithfull strutting their stuff on tour and living their lives off-duty have been made available to the public for the first time in a new book and exhibition. Here are some of the highlights.
