Interviews with stars including The Rolling Stones and Billy Joel show how important these musicians are, while experienced sidemen and sidewomen, including those who have worked with Beyonce, Prince and Bruce Springsteen, reveal the soaring highs and crushing lows of life lived on stage but in the shadows.
