Below is more information about the book Alien Rock. From Elvis to the
Beatles, from Michael Jackson to Marilyn Manson, rock stars claim to have
seen, communed with, been inspired by, and sometimes even descended from
extraterrestrials. Alien Rock is an irreverent, illuminating, all-access
pass to the stars' unearthly encounters--some friendly, some frightening,
and some frankly bizarre, including: The birth of Elvis was marked by the
appearance of a mysterious blue light over his house. In August 1974, John
Lennon spied a UFO from the window of the penthouse he shared with then-girlfriend,
May Pang. Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull encountered a luminous cigar-shaped
mothership while camping in the English countryside in 1968. Jimi Hendrix
told a friend, "I am a spiritual messenger, sent here from another place."
Whether you're a UFO skeptic or a true believer, Alien Rock provides a fascinating
new perspective on the long, strange trip that is rock 'n' roll history,
and suggests that, wherever the road takes us, we may not be traveling alone.

best friend, British millionaire entrepreneur James Murray Wells, presented
"Alien Rock": The Rock n Roll Extraterrestrial connection ( Pocket Books
VH1) to the Prince after receiving copies of the book from Andre Van Pier
at a charity dinner thrown in the celebrity fashion designer's honor by
the wife of the head of state of U.A.E. Qatar, Shekha Mozah Bint Nasser,
at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar.
Prince William's mother, Princess Diana, was Van Pier's most revered celebrity
client and was widely photographed wearing his signature AVP navy blazer
and skinny lycra pants in both black and white and skinny leggings
in white silk and lycra that the princess loved since the minute she
laid eyes on them.

and also discusses his futuristic fashions for rock stars inspired by Michael
C. Luckman's research on Van Pier's space-age couture fashion trend that
is now making out of this world fashion waves from Paris to Milan and New
York.
Wells was deeply impressed by Van Pier's stunning couture specially designed
for Princess Diana. He asked the celebrity fashion designer for advice
for Prince William's girlfriend, Kate Middleton, who is launching her own
line of clothing. Wells and Middleton learned during their travels that
the Van Pier brand was becoming a renowned global luxury mark. Kate is being
talked about as a possible new Queen.
Princess Diana was a queen,'said Van Pier, noting that she combined
an unassuming aura of royalty with the ultimate taste
and style and simplistic chic. Diana's love affair with Van Pier's couture
began first when some clothes were called in by Mario Testino Diana
photographer for a fashion shoo. Later the princess was intrigued
when she spotted a Van Pier signature jacket that appeared in a magazine
ad for Macys department store purchased by a chaperone. When Diana
noticed princess Stephanie of Monaco wearing a skiny gold pant in
a Bazaar fashion layout and prompted her to call Van Pier to bring
the collection to her suite at the Pierre Hotel on fifth avenue New
York. Andre quickily rushed in from shooting a beauty commercial in
the Caribbean to paid the royal visit. The rest is history .
Andre Van Pier has dressed some of the most beautiful women in the world
such as silver screen star Elizabeth Taylor, Movie queen Sophia Loren, Kim
Basinger , Isabella Rosselline , Morgan Fairchild, Brooke Shields and Madonna
to name few and his creations have been worn by the world's rich and
the famous including Mick Jagger, Yoko Ono, Diana
Ross, Priscilla Presley, Meryl Streep, Barbara Davis, Lamia Khashogii,
Nina Griscom, princess Marina Pignatelli and Lady Johanna Townsend.
Prince William's biggest love, next to his girlfriend Kate Middleton, is
UFOs. William is the newest member of the Royal Family to become obsessed
with contacting space aliens, keeping alive a family precedent started in
the 1950's by his grandfather, Prince Philip, a serious UFO believer, and
continued by William's father, Prince Charles, whose airplane was buzzed
by a mysterious UFO IN 1986, raising many royal eyebrows, including Queen
Elizabeth.
Incredibly, the Queens' Balmorral Castle in Scotland and Windsor Castle
in England were both visited by UFOs on unknown missions. RAF jets sent
up to investigate an unearthly
visitor at Balmorral in 1996 were unable to shoot down the spacecraft. A
red UFO similiar to the one that chased Prince Charles' plane in 1986 on
a flight from the United States was observed a week later by eyewitnesses
over Windsor Castle.
Now Prince William, the young heir to the British throne and Princess Diana's
oldest son, is said to be starstruck by Michael C. Luckman's controversial
book, "Alien
Rock: The Rock 'n' Roll Extraterrestrial Connection" featuring
many British rock stars from the Beatles and the Rolling Stones to his close
friend, Sir Elton John.
Luckman's sensational book, which claims that Elvis Presley, John Lennon,
Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia and Michael Jackson
had extraterrestrial and paranormal encounters, has caught the attention
of major Hollywood studios and film producers such as Steven Spielberg and
such stars as Bono; Penelope Cruz; Matthew McConoughey; Dan Aykroyd; Bianca
Jagger; Angela Bowie; David Lee Roth; Pete Bennett, legendary promotion
manager for the Beatles; and Larry Geller, Elvis Presley's closest friend
and spiritual adviser. But it is Prince William's current involvement with
flying saucers--whose very existence is officially denied by the British
Ministry of Defense--that is bound to stir up a hornet's nest of controversy
among veteran royal watchers.
Prince Philip has been an avid reader of Flying Saucer Review, a highly
respected UFO magazine, since the 1950's. According to private visitors,
Prince Philip kept a map on his office wall in Buckingham Palace indicating
UFO hot spots. But it was a face to face encounter that Prince Philip's
equerry reportedly had with a space alien named "Janus" that caused by far
the biggest royal uproar. Air Marshall Peter Horsley, an intimate advisor
to the Queen, said that in 1954 he met a visitor from another galaxy and
spoke to him for hours about space travel, the future of planet Earth and
the possible role of Prince Philip in curing the environment. Horsley never
told Prince Philip about the strange extraterrestrial episode. The former
RAF chief said that he kept details of the unusual meeting to himself until
the publication of his startling book, "Sounds From Another Room."
In another UFO incident, a close friend of Princess Diana, Francis Hamilton
Stidston, reported that a flying saucer left behind it's calling card in
a field behind her home in South Devon in 1991--a scorched circle 75 feet
in diameter. Stidston, who is also a friend of Prince Charles' longtime
confidante, Lady Tyson, was certain that "they" (the space aliens) wanted
to contact her for some specific reason.
Whatever her views may have been on UFOs, Princess Diana had a distinct
taste for the paranormal and regularly consulted with psychics, psychic
healers and astrologers. Chillingly, Diana predicted her own untimely death
in a car crash 10 months before it happened--an event that sent shockwaves
around the world.
As fate would have it, a resident of Rugby, England named Glenda Line, told
a local newspaper that she saw a huge bright light in the sky above Alshorp
the night before Princess Diana's funeral in 1997. "I said at the time that
it was Diana's star," she said. Whatever the true origin of that mysterious
light, it served as a welcome beacon of hope for those out of this world
royals--princes William, Charles and Philip--as they prepared to confront
their darkest hour and mourn their horrible personal loss in a tunnel in
Paris.
Diana was dressed in Van Pier's blazer for what history would record as
her last dinner with her fiance, Dodi Fayed, at Paris' Hotel Ritz.
