Rolling Stones' Keith Richards signs deal for tell-all book

[method77]

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has signed a deal reportedly worth more than US$7 million ($9.29 million) to write his autobiography, a tome that will trace his trek from cherubic choirboy to rock 'n' roll survivor.

The memoir will hit stores in the fall of 2010, said New York-based publisher Little, Brown and Co, which partnered with Britain's Weidenfeld & Nicolson to secure worldwide English-language rights.

Media reports said on Tuesday a bidding war pushed the price above US$7 million, a hefty sum given that music-based books are traditionally not big sellers. Legendary guitarist Eric Clapton reportedly received a US$5 million advance for his upcoming memoir.
