Henry Holt and Co.Roger Daltrey‘s new autobiography, Thanks a Lot Mr. Kibblewhite: My Story, will be released in the U.S. on Tuesday, October 23, and the Who frontman has scheduled several upcoming appearances to promote the book, one in the U.K. and three in the U.S.
The first is an interview event scheduled to take place tonight at London’s Royal Festival Hall as part of The Southbank Centre’s 2018 Literature Festival.
Then, on Thanks a Lot Mr. Kibblewhite‘s release date, Daltrey will be in Los Angeles at the Aratani Theater, where he will be interviewed by famed comedy director Judd Apatow.
Later next week, the 74-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer will travel to the East Coast, where on Thursday, October 25, he’ll do a book-signing session at the Bookends store in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Daltrey’s promotional trek will wind down Friday, October 26, in New York City, where he’ll take part in another signing event at a midtown Barnes & Noble store on Fifth Avenue.
As previously reported, the self-penned memoir features Daltrey sharing his life story, from his birth during World War II through his years as an unruly student and his brief stint as a sheet-metal worker before founding what became one of the world’s most famous rock bands. Of course, Roger also candidly recalls his many adventures as The Who’s frontman and the creation of the band’s classic recordings.
As Daltrey reveals in a recent interview with The Mirror, the book also such revelations as the rocker discovered after his 50th birthday that during the ’60s he’d fathered three children he hadn’t known about.
“It was great — it’s all worked out. They stay in touch and they’re close,” says Roger, who’s been married to his wife Heather since 1971.
