New Order Drummer Stephen Morris Announces Memoir

New Order drummer Stephen Morris is working on a memoir, NME reports. He’s signed a book deal with Constable (an imprint of Little, Brown) and will release his autobiography in 2018. His book follows the just-released memoir by former member Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner’s 2014 book Chapter And Verse. Morris said of his forthcoming book in a statement:

After dropping pretty big hints over the past few years that I was writing about my recollections of nearly four decades living a fantastic and, at times traumatic, life creating music in Joy Division and New Order, I am delighted that Little, Brown has given my writing a home. I am really excited to be working with Andreas Campomar, whose enthusiasm for developing something more than a straight rock memoir is inspiring.
