Roger Daltrey to Reveal Long-awaited Memoir Details

Singer Roger Daltrey finally revealed the long-awaited memoir named “Thanks A Lot Mr. Kibblewhite: My Story” which will be published on October 18 on UK and October 23 on U.S.
The musician initially announced his plans to release an autobiography back in October 2017 but has kept any concrete details under wraps until now.
The memoir will take readers through Daltrey’s 50-year career with THE WHO and their 100-million record-selling success and a solo career that spanned eight studio albums which is a glimpse into life in Britain from the 1940s to the 1970s, a tumultuous time of change.
According to the autobiography’s synopsis, Mr. Kibblewhite was Daltrey’s “draconian headmaster” during the singer’s rebellious teenage years.
Daltrey first spoke about writing his memoirs back in 2009. “It’s probably time,” he said. “Just the story of my life and the things I’ve done, you know, it’s kind of interesting”.
“And when I look at the juxtapositions of things, you know, like being the singer in ‘The Who’ to being a fish farmer, and being a film star to being a beef farmer, there’s all these swings and roundabouts in my life that are so juxtaposed”, he added.
The cover features a black-and-white photo of a young Daltrey and will be published via Blink Publishing.
“It’s taken three years to unpick the events of my life, to remember who did what when and why, to separate the myths from the reality, to unravel what really happened at the Holiday Inn on Keith Moon’s 21st birthday. I hope the result is more than just another autobiography”, he said after he release the date of the memoir.
