After a decades-spanning career, it's surprising that it's taken Elvis Costello this long to release his first autobiography.
Costello, born Declan Patrick MacManus, has released over 20 solo albums and 11 with the Attractions. His most recent collaboration was 2013's Wise Up Ghost with the Roots.
The memoir, written without the aid of a ghostwriter, will divulge some of Costello's secrets and tales from his many collaborations over the years.
Before its release in October, Costello will play tour dates in the UK and US.
