Whilst browsing through the Shidoobee site I found a post that says Keith's autobiography is out on 14th October this year. They found the information on Amazon.

Perhaps they will tour to promote it?

Thanks for the news, HS -- I'm so looking forward to this!

I would love more than anything for Keith to tour on his own -- Nights with Keith Richards -- as Ray Davies did and as 71Tele describes so well in the current "Keith Songs" thread!

I look forward to reading it but dare I say that the book should probably be sold off of the fiction shelf!!!!

Keith has an incredible memory, and it will be interesting to see what he feels comfortable writing about, which very well may be a much more insightful description of events we've read about as described through others eyes.

.....will it come in skull embossed leather bound cover ????????

In that case a Hallowe'en release date might be more apt.

"I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon."

Hmmm... 50 years (less a week or so) since a certain chance encounter on a train platform in Dartford. Maybe it will come with a silk scarf and a bottle of Jack.

Does it say anywhere that it will be in English?

For all the living he's packed into 66+ years, this book should be a long read.
Maybe we should have a contest to guess the number of pages.

uh oh, am I right in reading on that link it's 320 pages?? Thats like readers digest.

Only 320 ....won't even get outta Dartford .....

well put Rockman.

I'm still thinking 2011 might be a more realistic date...
call me skeptical on this one...unless he's been working
on it all this time.

What else do we know he's been doing since '07?

Jeepers. Readers Digest is right! I hope that's just preliminary estimate.

For comparison's sake...looks like Keith's aiming to at least beat Spanish Tony.

Ummm, you don't really think he is writing the book by himself do you? Some of you seem to.

I'm sure it's like all other celeb bios, a series of interviews that are then transcribed and edited into a narrative. Very few wrote their book.

Keith is supposedly working with James Fox...Author of White Mischief

Maybe its Megan Fox, that would explain why he spent all this time and its only 320 pages.
