An Elvis Costello memoir is due to be released in October.

The British musician's 352-page autobiography, Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, will be published on October 15 by Penguin Books. 

The publishers promise that the 60-year-old rock star's story will be “rich with anecdotes about family and fellow musicians, and introspective about the creation of his famous songs.” 

The press release runs as follows: "From his release, with The Attractions, of My Aim is True in 1976, Elvis Costello has been one of the most popular and genre-bending entertainers of our era.

"Born to a musical family outside of London and relocated to Liverpool, Costello created his own form of punk, became one of the first artists to exploit the newly-burgeoning MTV-Video world . 

"...Elvis is in the pantheon of elder statesmen musician/rockers, collaborating often with the likes of Paul McCartney, great ballet and opera companies, hip-hop groups, jazz ensembles while appearing frequently in venues like Carnegie Hall and on shows like David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon."
