Moby is set to release a new memoir.
The 53-year-old musician has announced he will release a new book called ‘Then It Fell Apart’ in 2019, with the memoir being handed a May release date in the UK and a June date in the US.
‘Then It Fell Apart’ will serve as the sequel to Moby’s 2016 memoir ‘Porcelain’ and has been described as "a journey into the dark heart of fame and the demons that lurk beneath the bling and bluster of the celebrity lifestyle".
Faber Books, which will be publishing the memoir, has also teased the new title.
Faber said: "In summer 1999, Moby released the album that defined the millennium, ‘Play’. Like generation-defining albums before it, ‘Play’ was ubiquitous, and catapulted Moby to superstardom.
"Suddenly he was hanging out with David Bowie and Lou Reed, Christina Ricci and Madonna, taking ecstasy for breakfast (most days), drinking litres of vodka (every day), and sleeping with super models (infrequently). It was a diet that couldn’t last. And then it fell apart."
Meanwhile, Moby previously admitted he struggled to recognise that he’d developed a drinking problem.
He explained: "When I was growing up, an alcoholic was someone who drank every day from the time they woke up to the time they went to sleep and they were getting in car accidents and they couldn’t hold down a job and they had cirrhosis of the liver.
"But then I started to see … about two or three years before I finally got sober, I started to try and practice moderation and I simply couldn’t do it and that was the first time I realised that I had a real problem."
