This groupie’s first taste for the spotlight and rock lifestyle can be traced to her work as a belly dancer. Roxana’s family escaped the revolution in Iran and fled to London. It was in London where she formed relations with bands like Black Cherry and even Guns N’ Roses. Just like other former groupies, Roxana wrote a tell-all memoir about these rockstar romances.
