Don will be launching a series of promotional events in the Southern California area beginning next week to promote the US-release of his autobiography Heaven and Hell. What better way to help him kick it off than to bring the fans a bit closer to Heaven.

You can now read an exclusive excerpt taken from Heaven and Hell: My Life as an Eagle (1974-2001) here on Felderfans.com. In it, Don describes experiencing that inspirational moment which would change his life forever. Photo: courtesy John Wiley & Sons
