Fathomless Riches recounts Richard Coles’s extraordinary path from school chorister to saxophone-playing frontman of the Communards and, ultimately, a parish priest in Northamptonshire. His narrative offers a rare glimpse into both the glamour of 1980s pop and the demands of religious life.

Blending wit and warmth, the memoir dives into themes of identity, sexuality, and spiritual awakening. Coles reflects on chart-topping success with “Don’t Leave Me This Way,” his life in music, and the moment that led him from hedonism to devotion.

Enriched by candid anecdotes and theological insights, Fathomless Riches invites readers to explore the intersection of fame, faith and personal transformation. It’s a moving portrait of resilience, community and the search for meaning.
