Sum 41‘s frontman is holding nothing back in a new memoir detailing the highs and lows of Deryck Whibley’s career.
Released on Tuesday (Oct. 8), Walking Disaster: My Life Through Heaven and Hell is the lead singer’s first-ever autobiography detailing his rise to fame, the success of Sum 41 as well as the struggles he endured — including alleged sexual abuse by the band’s former manager.
Whibley’s memoir starts from the beginning detailing his life before fame, being raised by a single mom in Canada and forming a friend group that would eventually evolve into an internationally famous punk rock band. While the band has since announced their split, fans can relive the group’s most memorable moments straight from the 44-year-old’s perspective.

Readers can expect to delve into more than just the singer’s upbringings in Walking Disaster, as he details Sum 41’s rise to fame. Throughout the start of Whibley music career, he kept hidden alleged sexual misconduct from the band’s first manager, Greig Nori, who groomed him as well as sexually and verbally abused him, according to reporting from Rolling Stone.
Reviewers can’t get enough of the memoir with one Amazon shopper saying it “tells some incredible stories, but it also includes some great life lessons about resilience, redemptions, and suffering.
In addition to the lows, the punk rockstar experienced unforgettable moments like “winning at the MTV Video Music Awards and being nominated for a Grammy,” the official description states. Plus, he’ll revisit some of his high-profile relationships including with Paris Hilton and Avril Lavigne.
