Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers’ Mike Campbell has announced that his new memoir, titled “Heartbreaker,” will be released on March 18 via Grand Central Publishing.

“A fast-paced, tender-hearted rock ‘n’ roll memoir for the ages, Mike Campbell’s Heartbreaker is part rags-to-riches story and part raucous, seat-of-the-pants adventure, recounting Campbell’s life and times as lead guitarist of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers,” reads a synopsis by the publisher.

Brilliant, soft-spoken and intensely private, Campbell opens up within these pages for the first time, revealing himself to be an astute observer of triumphs, tragedies and absurdities alike, with a songwriter’s eye for the telling detail and a voice as direct and unpretentious as his music.

An instant classic, “Heartbreaker” is Campbell’s heartfelt portrait of one throwaway kid’s lifesaving love of music and the creative heights he achieved through luck, collaboration, humility and extraordinary talent.

The memoir reflects the less-than-glamorous background from which Campbell emerged as the lead guitarist and songwriter for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers from the band’s inception in 1976 to Tom Petty’s tragic death in 2017.

“Heartbreaker” will be available in hardcover, e-book ad audio book formats.
