Doors' John Densmore To Release Second Book

Another autobiography coming

Published 23rd Mar 2011

Former Doors drummer John Densmore announced backstage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction gala last week that he'll soon be releasing a book - or as he calls it, "another self-serving memoir."  Densmore hopes to release it book either this autumn or next spring.  While a title wasn't revealed, he did say it was a "real important book to me.  Sort of rock and roll going up on trial."  He also said that this new book "was a leaf" he was extending towards Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger.  He called his relationship with the former Doors members "strained."

Manzarek and Krieger were sued by Densmore after the duo formed a new version of the Doors called The Doors Of The 21st Century.  After legal battles, Manzarek and Krieger toured together under different names, including Manzarek-Krieger and Ray Manzarek And Robby Krieger Of The Doors.

Densmore released an autobiography, Riders on the Storm, back in 1990.
