From recording one of the most critically acclaimed albums of all time with THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO (1967), to heavy drug abuse and performing in front of the Pope, Lou Reed's story is one of great peaks and deep lows. Rock 'n' roll was Lou Reed's life. He brought avant-garde to the mainstream with the Velvet Underground and his solo work was pronounced a revelation.
