Glenn's Autobiography
Hi All.
Have found some online retailers have got Glenn's autobiography availabe to pre-order. The usual suspects amazon.co.uk and play.com. Have placed my order. Funny that they know how many pages when it is not yet finished. Reckon 250 pages or so!! Doesn't seem many to me. Could probably write that many pages about his time with DP :D Paul |

How about 3 volumes of 250 pages?? ;)

I think it would be great if, when the book comes out, autographed copies were available through the Funk Emporium :bouncer:
Cheers....Todd |

Nothing new to a lot of us, but for some, these tales might be of interest and get you ready for what might be in the book later this year :)

Here are a couple of Rolling Stone articles that pertain to Paul's post above.
The first is from Issue 1000 - May 18, 2006. It's a re-print of an article about Bowie from 1976 by Cameron Crowe. The part about Glenn starts at the very bottom of the second column. The second is from Issue 851 - Oct. 12, 2000. Just a portion of an article about Cameron Crowe where he talks about the same situation in the Bowie article. |
Thanks for the post...since I'm new to the site, I've haven't read these before. Glenn's autobiography should be quite a story, indeed!
|
thx. good read
can't wait till the autobiography comes out |
Thank You!
I'm new here too and hadn't read most of that stuff, so I've just spent an interesting ten minutes.
I was going to say that maybe the autobiography was going to be short because Glenn had forgotten a lot of it - but I see that he says that because he didn't do a lot of weed his memory's ok! Anyway, really looking forward to it when it comes out. Be interesting to compare Glenn's impressions of Blackmore with those of Dio when his book comes out too. |
It's real close to the drafting stage now, so won't be too long until it's ready for publication :cool1:

David,
I certainly hope that Glenn realizes that: "Search is his friend, too." :hi5: If Glenn wants to put more recent photographs from his solo career in a center-of-the-book-insert, all he has to do is go through the GH Photo Gallery, located --> HERE. There are an awful lot of professional quality photos, taken by the fans. Oh yeah, like some fan would object to GH using their photographs in the autobiography, of Glenn during or after a performance. Yeah, right. * |
As you may have seen in Glenn's recent tweets; his autobiography will be published soon (2010) and will come in a couple of different flavours :cool: the first being a "Limited Edition". It's being published by Foruli Limited, who are based out of the UK.
You can find out more about them, using the links below and also see examples of their work, so you have an idea of what to expect. http://foruli.co.uk http://www.facebook.com/pages/Foruli-Limited-Edition-Books/94484528642 http://twitter.com/foruli More soon... |
Can't wait to read this! I'm sure we'll all have it on pre order as soon as the release date is announced!
|
For this book,I'm gonna learn how to read!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:) |
Great idea, Ben!
Reading the long-awaited Glenn Hughes autobiography ~
Titled ~ "Here It Is.......... because this is the only way to stop the constant nagging by the GH Crazy People" while at the same time, listening to our favorite GH songs. Our brains are gonna' fall out. But we'll all die happy. :lol: * |
Can't wait for this now. Had no idea Glenn knew Bowie personally. Always nice to have some Lynott stories, another of my favourite singer/bass players.

The book, co-written with Joel McIver and featuring an introduction by METALLICA's Lars Ulrich, will be published in a hand signed luxury first edition complete with rare photos and an exclusive 10" vinyl EP. Pre-orders will be available from next spring. Further details will be released early in 2010.<br /> <br />Hughes said, "My autobiography is going to be a literary event. I've been working on this book for the last three years and you've never read anything like it. It's the true story of the Voice Of Rock, from my childhood via my career in TRAPEZE and DEEP PURPLE to my addiction and recovery. I'm now on top of the world as a solo artist and after so many years of sobriety, I can hardly believe that I survived. I spent a million dollars on cocaine and, when you've read this book, you won't believe it either."<br /> <br />The as yet untitled book features contributions from Hughes' friend and comrade in DEEP PURPLE David Coverdale, his lifelong musical collaborator Tony Iommi of BLACK SABBATH and a host of others including Angie Bowie, John Varvatos and the members of THE KLF (with whom Hughes scored a global hit in 1991). <br /> <br />For more information, please visit <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.glennhughes.com/" target="_blank">www.glennhughes.com</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.foruli.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.foruli.co.uk</a>.</img></div></div></td></tr></font></table> |
boy i hope i can get one of those first editions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Holy mackerel! After a quick perusal of book prices on the Foruli website, I'm thinking I'm gonna need to start panhandling for spare change and working some overtime to be able to afford either version of the book :eek: Hopefully Glenn's will be priced a little more modestly than the titles they're currently offering.
|
bloody hell :eek:
will it really be that expensive :( I do hope not as there is no chance of buying it anywhere near those prices! |
If you are looking at the Razorjack one which was the only one I can find costs on - it's a Special Edition Graphic novel with Original paintings and gold leaf on them so hopefully that accounts for the price on that particular item! Otherwise I will be asking for a piggy bank for Christmas so I can save up!

You can now pre-order the luxury "Deluxe" limited edition of Glenn's book direct from the publisher.
The book title is: The Life, Near Death and Rebirth of A Rock Star: Deep Purple & Beyond Please keep in mind, the price of this edition will also include: Quote:
Good news for those in North America, sounds like you're on the cards for 2010 :thumbsup: When and if I hear more on the publication details, such as a regularly priced edition, you'll see it on the web site. Here's the official pre-order notice... Quote:
|
:eek: :eek: Wow!! :eek: :eek:
Congratulations to anyone who is in the position to buy the deluxe edition. As someone whose been out of work for the past 13 months, I doubt I'll even be able to get the standard edition based on the prices of the other books from this publisher. It's a shame so many of us 'regular' fans have not been thought of :( |
if the invitation to be a special guest to a show includes the plane flight overseas i'll get one!
It would good to know what tracks are on the vinyl album. |
Wow. Just checked out the price. I love Glenn,and i have everything he has ever released but £550 for the deluxe version is a bit steep to say the least. I will get the regular edition i think
