Rod Stewart will publish his memoirs next year, promising to “hold nothing back” in detailing a career in which he sold more than a 100 million records, survived cancer and romanced a string of blond bombshells.
Stewart’s book, which is yet to be titled but will be published worldwide by Random House, comes as he has toned down his rock and roll act, concentrating on remaking standards by everyone from Cole Porter to George Gershwin.
Due out in October 2012, the book follows renewed interest in rock autobiographies thanks to bestsellers by Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards and an upcoming release by Neil Young.
