The Heartbreaker Behind the Guitar: The Story of Mike Campbell

What if a single guitar could change the course of a life?

Mike Campbell wasn’t born into fame. He was a kid from Jacksonville, raised by a single mother, scraping by, and searching for something bigger than survival. When she handed him a $15 pawn shop guitar, she unknowingly set him on a path that would lead to rock and roll history.

From a dusty Florida farmhouse to sold-out stadiums, this is the untold story of one of rock’s greatest guitarists.

This book takes you behind the music, beyond the spotlight, and deep into the moments that shaped Mike Campbell's legendary career. From the fateful meeting with Tom Petty in Gainesville to the rise of the Heartbreakers, from writing iconic hits with Don Henley and Stevie Nicks to navigating the crushing loss of his closest friend—this is more than a rock memoir. It’s a story of passion, persistence, and the kind of music that changes lives.

What happens when the dream becomes reality? And what do you do when it all comes crashing down?

For fans of classic rock, songwriting, and the raw truth behind the industry, this book is an emotional, electrifying ride. Through triumph and tragedy, through riffs and heartbreak, Mike Campbell’s journey is proof that music isn’t just a career—it’s a calling.
