Billy Idol To Pen His Life Story
Gen X singer to release his book next year
Billy Idol has announced that he is writing his memoirs.
The former Generation X frontman has signed a publishing deal with Touchstone, a subsidiary of Simon & Schuster.
The book will be titled Dancing With Myself and Idol will write the book himself as opposed to using a ghost writer and it will be released in roughly a year.
Says Idol: "Life gave me a golden key when I fell in love with rock n roll music. It was the key to the answer of how to live and achieve your dreams. This world opened up to me with all the good opportunities but also every temptation – the drugs, the booze, the women, the 24-hour around-the-clock excess. And yet you have to write good songs to survive. Life had to be lived to do all that! Now I’m putting it all down in book form – from the heart. I’m going out on a limb here, so watch my back”.
