Legendary performer Lionel Richie will release his memoir in September next year, focusing on aspects of life and his musical journey.
The title of the book has not been revealed, but the publishers, HarperOne, describe it as an “intimate, deeply candid memoir.”
According to a release issued by the publishers, the book seeks to “inspire all who doubt themselves or feel their dreams don’t matter.” It is expected to highlight lessons the musician learned over the years to become a superstar performer.
“Lionel Richie is not only a music legend who has long been a multicultural and generational bridge, but he has also witnessed monumental shifts in history and entertainment while working with some of the most significant talents of our age,” Judith Curr, President, and Publisher of HarperOne Group, was quoted in the release.
“We are thrilled to not only be providing his fans and friends with a nuanced, detailed, emotional telling of what his life has held, but his view of the world…what has changed and what has remained the same, the difficulties and the causes for celebration,” she added.
