Billy Idol has signed a deal for his memoirs which will be published in about a year.
To be titled Dancing With Myself, Idol is to write the book himself, instead of using a ghost writer, and will be published by Touchstone, a subsidiary of Simon & Schuster.
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”.
