The Lemonheads’ Evan Dando Details Memoir, ‘Rumors of My Demise’

Evan Dando, the frontman of alt-rock veterans The Lemonheads, has announced the release his long-awaited memoir, 'Rumors of My Demise.'

Named for the rumor and innuendo that surrounded Dando’s life at the height of his fame as a ’90s rock heartthrob, the book aims to share “the true story of his band’s tumultuous history and what it was like to be famous in the pre-internet days.” Set for release through publishers Gallery Books on Oct. 7, Rumors of My Demise presents as a candid account of Dando’s storied life, ranging from his formative years in the ’80s hardcore scene, his brush with mainstream success, up to his current status, which sees him sober and living in South America while not touring. “Reclaiming the purity and exuberance of his early days and encapsulating the spirit of the era, this candid autobiography presents a portrait of an artist who lives wholly for his music, and one that makes no apologies for doing so,” a description of the book reads.
