I read this today on the Planet Rock website.

"Sammy Hagar has revealed that he is nearly finished with his forthcoming autobiography – Red: My Uncensored Life As A Rocker.

Hennemusic reports that the book should be with us next year, but that Hagar is digging further into some of his life stories.

"The book's basically done, but the editors want me to go deeper in a couple of areas," Hagar tells the Marin Independent Journal. "They said, 'There were problems in Van Halen? Well, what kind of problems?' The way I've written this book is that I'm just telling the stories, from childhood until now. It's humorous in places, there are sad things, inspirational things."

Sammy says the final product won’t pull any punches.

"It's sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, tequila and success and cars and money and fame and fortune," he says. "I've gone over the top. It really is crazy. I was shocked when I read my own book. It floored me. I said, 'Wow, what a guy.' I've had the most complete friggin' life on the planet. I can imagine people thinking this guy couldn't have done all that in one lifetime. But I've been a busy boy."

I'll definitely be picking up a copy, but I need to read Keith Richards' bio first.

I wonder if it will be as revealing or the same as the chapters from his unreleased one back a few years ago? What I read of that was a good read...
