Product information "Walking Disaster"

This candid memoir of music, fame, endurance, “true triumphs, and challenges” (Matt Pinfield, DJ and TV host) from Deryck Whibley, lead singer of Sum 41, follows his rise from a punk kid to an international star.<BR><BR>From his earliest days growing up in Canada, Deryck Whibley loved music and couldn’t wait to achieve something bigger and better than the humble path that lay before him. Whibley was raised by a single mom and their small family constantly moved, so he was used to being the new kid, starting fights (or finishing them), and connecting with people who shared his sensibility for chaotic fun and loud music. Sum 41 was born of a group of friends who loved to jam, shared a DIY ethos, and were determined to be rock stars one day.<BR> <BR>Walking Disaster is Whibley’s story, but it is also the untold story of Sum 41. It “barrels in like a tornado of extreme highs and lows” (Los Angeles Times) as Whibley takes you backstage, into the recording booth, and through the formation and rise of the band whose story is inextricably woven with his own.<BR> <BR>With his insightful, earnest, and genuine voice, Whibley gets real about fame, fortune, and the music industry. Detailing everything from winning at the MTV Video Music Awards and being nominated for a Grammy to revisiting his high-profile relationships and friendships, contending with invasive paparazzi, and suffering from health issues that brought him to the brink, Whibley offers an insightful and unforgettable memoir.
