Lamb Of God vocalist Randy Blythe has landed a book deal with Da Capo Press/Random House for his as-yet untitled memoir which will surface in 2014. Blythe will be tackling the memoir himself, having decided to forego any co-authors or ghost writers.
The book is expected to largely focus upon the past year of Blythe‘s life, which saw him imprisoned overseas as the result of the death of a concert attendee at a 2010 show the band played. He was eventually acquitted of the resulting manslaughter charges. Blythe said of the undertaking:
“While I’ve dreamed of being a published author almost since I began to read, I never imagined my first book would center around such a sad topic. Sometimes though, life unexpectedly provides you a story that needs to be told. I believe this one does (for several different reasons, not just for the benefit of myself), so I will tell it with the respect and dignity all involved deserve. This will be a good read, I promise you, and I hope some good comes of it.”
