Singer Frank Turner is to publish his tour diaries in an upcoming book.
The 43-year-old singer-songwriter has inked a deal with Headline Publishing for a book that will trace his journey from his last Million Dead show to performing at the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, reported Digital Spy.
"It took some persuading for me to think about writing a book of any kind, but in the end I realised that I have spent a pretty unusual amount of time touring hard in the last few years, and I have a fair few stories to tell, and maybe even a tiny smidgen of wisdom to impart to people starting out on the same path," Turner said.
"Plus, I come from a family of yarn-spinners, and I can run my mouth, so it makes sense."
Turner also shared his excitement for the upcoming project on his Twitter account.
"Happy to announce that I've sorted a deal with Headline Publishing to write a book of tour diaries. Looking at releasing it in Spring 2015," he tweeted.
His most recent album Tape Deck Heart earned positive reviews in 2013.
