Peter Frampton’s memoir, titled “Do You Feel Like I Do?”, is set to release on October 20.
“This is my journey,” Frampton said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “All I ever wanted to do was play guitar and it’s taken me many different places – physically and mentally. I’ve been to the moon and back without a rocket, but also to the depths of despair.
“You never stop paying your dues,” he added. “Failure has been my greatest inspiration. I brush myself off and then I want to ‘do it again.’ Do You Feel Like I Do?”
The memoir, which Frampton co-wrote with Rolling Stone editor Alan Light, will give details about his work with childhood friend David Bowie, his struggles with drug abuse, and the “blessing and curse” of his breakthrough album Frampton Comes Alive!
The book will also touch upon his inflammatory muscle disease that recently forced him to announce a farewell tour.
“If I’m going to do a farewell tour, I want to play good,” he told Rolling Stone. “I want to rock it. I know that this tour, I will be able to do everything I did last year and the year before. That’s the most important thing to me. I want to go out screaming as opposed to, ‘He can’t play anymore.'”
