Deryck Whibley of the Grammy-nominated Punk and Heavy Metal band Sum 41 has announced a U.S. book tour supporting his new memoir, Walking Disaster: My Life Through Heaven and Hell, which is out October 8th, 2024.
He will be making stops in four cities across the U.S. including Jersey City, Boston, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. His first three stops on tour will include an intimate conversation with different moderators about “his triumphs, struggles, and accomplishments throughout his career and in his personal life.” All attendees will leave with a look into the making of Deryck’s memoir and a signed copy of the book.
Deryck Whibley shares about his memoir:
Ten years ago, I found myself on the brink of death in a hospital bed. Surviving that moment, I made a promise to myself: I would fight harder than ever for this band and strive to become the best version of myself. Today, I’m proud to say that Sum 41 is experiencing the greatest success in our career, with our biggest hits on the radio and performing at the largest shows of our lives. This book is the story of that journey—through the good, the bad, and the really fucking ugly. It’s about how I fought my way back, the battles I faced along the way, and how I turned those struggles into the fuel that powers everything I do now.
