Harlow Hayes: the pop star.
I'm a global sensation adored by millions, and my star only seems to keep rising.

The icon.
My fans say I speak directly to them through my music, that I know who they are. How else could I write such visceral, personal lyrics? They love me, and I love them right back.

The murderer.
Then, at the height of my fame, I was arrested on suspicion of murder.

The world thinks they know who I am.

But they have no idea.
