The two remaining members of the Beastie Boys, Michael Diamond “ADROCK” and Adam “Mike D” Horowitz, will detail the group’s meteoric rise from teenage punks to cultural icons.

The memoir - simply entitled Beastie Boys Book - will consist of not only humour-filled narratives, but also rare photos, original illustrations, a cookbook by chef Roy Choi, a graphic novel, a Beastie Boys’ map of New York along with much more.

I’m not sure if you remember, but a while ago we said we were gonna write a book about our band. Well, it’s almost done and it’s coming out soon. This is what it’s gonna look like. Kinda nice, right?

Beastie Boys’ core line-up also included Adam “MCA” Yauch, who died of cancer in 2012 aged 47. Formed in 1983, the group fused punk-rock with hip-hop to become one of the most original and instantly recognisable rap groups of all time.

Their albums Licensed to Ill, Ill Communication, Hello Nasty and To the 5 Boroughs reached No 1 in the US, and they have sold more than 50 million albums worldwide.

The publish date for the memoir has been announced as 1 November through Faber, available as both an eBook and in hardback.
