Lionel Richie‘s memoir, which he first announced last year, now has a title: Truly, named after his 1982 debut solo single.
The memoir, due out Sept. 30, is described by publisher Harper One as “intimate” and “deeply candid,” detailing “turbulence, loss, and near-calamity.”
The book is a “no-holds-barred” telling of Lionel’s story, from his childhood in Alabama, to his success with The Commodores, to his solo superstardom, all the way up to his present gig as a judge on American Idol.
The book also covers Lionel’s struggle with ADHD, his two divorces and a serious vocal cord injury that nearly ended his career.
You can preorder the book now.
