About this deal

She befriends an older “disco star”, Simone, who takes her under her wing. They party, do speed, but Simone also tells her to stay in school. Daisy is a talented singer and songwriter, a career Simone encourages her to pursue. In 1970, the Dunne Brothers are offered a spot as the opening act for a band called the Winters. Here they meet their keyboardist Karen Sirko (known as Karen Karen). She was a keyboardist for the Winters, but left due to the way she was treated. After Karen joined, the band officially change their name to the Six.

So I wanted Daisy to feel like this larger-than-life person, who is so beautiful and so glamorous, it seems like she has everything. Yet, you know that if you met her one-on-one, you would immediately feel her vulnerability and her humanity — so it had to be both. She had to be larger than life, and she had to feel very, very small. Gray-Smith, Diane (July 2, 2020). "Daisy Jones and the Six wins the 2020 Goldsboro Books Glass Bell Award". FMcM .

She also mentioned that White had wanted to spend more time at home with his own family. Billy comes extremely close to a relapse in the book. He even takes a small sip of tequila after the band's grueling show at Chicago's Soldier Field. a b Lang, Cady (March 1, 2023). "What to Know About the Book That Inspired Daisy Jones and the Six".

You know how easy it is to screw up your entire life by sleeping with somebody in your own band?" she says at one point. How do you try to sing and fail and then keep going, and push yourself to be better? That’s something that she had to learn. A lot of people learn it much earlier in their life, but everything was handed to Daisy. So when I pieced together that she was going to feel very confident about something, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, had to admit she actually had a lot of area to grow, that’s when she became a person to me.In one of the early moments in the narrative, Daisy considers herself a songwriter and she’s told, “No, you’re not.” That’s a really bittersweet moment. Tell me about this idea: somebody who’s so confident and yet is wrong.

In a letter, Camilla requests that her daughters give Billy Daisy's number, implicitly giving the two her blessing to reunite after her death. In the book, this scene makes it clear clear that Daisy scares Billy — not because he's tempted to cheat on his wife, but because he's tempted to relapse.So that wasn’t on the forefront of my mind, to reject that notion, but to say, “There are strong women surrounding this band and in this band. This stands on their own merits.” But when I finished the book, and I looked at what I had written, I was very proud to see that — between Daisy and Billy’s wife Camila, and Karen the keyboardist and even Simone, Daisy’s best friend — these are very strong women, who are all different types of women, who are not revolving, or secondary to, this story about a band of mostly men. Reid spoke to Rolling Stone about A Star Is Born, why she doesn’t believe in the Yoko Effect and how the Eagles inspired the story. So brilliantly written I thought all the characters were real . . . I couldn't put it down' EDITH BOWMAN Billy is the obsessive and controlling heart-throb of the group. Camila gets pregnant, so she and Billy get married. When the band goes on a small tour to promote their new album, Billy cheats repeatedly on Camila, but she catches him. He starts abusing heroin, but after their baby Julia is born, Billy goes to rehab and gets clean.
