Keith Richards Autobiography Due In October

Release date set for Stones' memoirs   29-Aug-10

This is exciting news for all guitarists. Keith Richards has led the rock n' roll lifestyle like no other, and somehow he's managed to survive. It has now been announced that his autobiography, entitled Life, is set for release on 26th October.

We can only speculate the extent to which Keith will detail some of the muddier events in his five decade career, but he certainly has much to write about. What we can hope for is an insight into the mind of one of the world's greatest songwriters and rock stars.

Publishers, Little, Brown and Company, have given little away in their press release:

 The long-awaited autobiography of the guitarist, songwriter, singer, and founding member of the Rolling Stones. Ladies and gentleman: Keith Richards. With the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the songs that roused the world, and he lived the original rock and roll life. Now, at last, the man himself tells his story of life in the crossfire hurricane. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records, learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones' first fame and the notorious drug busts that led to his enduring image an outlaw folk hero. Creating immortal riffs like the ones in "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women." Falling in love with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the US, isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Bitter estrangement from Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Marriage, family, solo albums and Xpensive Winos, and the road that goes on forever. With his trademark disarming honesty. Keith Richard brings us the story of a life we have all longed to know more of, unfettered, fearless, and true.  

Copies can now be pre-ordered from Amazon.
