Walking Disaster
Sum 41 - Book - by Deryck Whibley and Anthony Bozza
(2024)
This candid memoir of punk rock, fame, and endurance from Deryck
Whibley, lead singer of Sum 41, follows Whibley's rise from a punk kid
in Canada to an international star. From his earliest days as a kid in
Canada, Deryck Whibley was a punk who loved music and couldn't wait to
achieve something bigger and better than the humble path that lay before
him. Raised by a single mom and constantly moving from place to place,
Deryck was used to being the new kid, starting fights (or finishing
them), and finding friends who shared his sensibility for chaotic fun
and loud music.
Sum 41 was born of a group of friends who loved
to jam, shared a DIY ethos, and were determined to be rock stars one
day. Walking Disaster is Deryck's story, but it is also the untold
story of Sum 41. Deryck takes you backstage, into the recording booth,
and through the highest highs and lowest lows of the band whose story is
inextricably woven with his own.
With his insightful,
earnest, and genuine voice, Deryck gets real about fame, fortune, and
the music industry. From winning at the MTV Video Music Awards, being
nominated for a Grammy, his high-profile relationships and friendships,
contending with invasive paparazzi, and suffering from health issues
that brought him to the brink, Deryck offers a forthright and
unforgettable memoir.
