Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood will publish his diaries, reaching back to his teenage days, in a book titled "How Can It Be? A Rock And Roll Diary."
The book includes entries penned when Wood was in a band called the Birds (not be confused with the American band The Byrds). The book will be available in May, The Guardian reported.
"I suppose my own private world is in the diary," he said, according to The Guardian. "This diary shows what an amazing schedule I had. We'd be travelling the length and breadth of the country every day. With youth on our side, it was a continuing adventure. Our overspilling energy was enough to take care of work every night of the week. It was enough to chase the girls, enough to write songs, enough to rehearse and enough to travel. It was all go, all the time."
The Guardian reported that "How Can It Be?" will be limited to just 1,965 copies.
In other news, Wood told The Mirror last week that it's "bloody ridiculous" that Kanye West will headline this year's edition of Glastonbury Festival, the massive rock festival held in the English countryside.
"It pisses me off so I try not to think about it too much," Wood lamented. "Glastonbury is the home of rock music and, look, Kanye isn't rock. He's a great entertainer and he knows how to captivate an audience with all his swearing, but when it comes to what that festival is about, it's the wrong choice.
"Good luck to the man - I don't know if he'll survive when he's on that stage. People who go there for rock music are starting to get very angry about all these rappers and R'n'B singers taking over."
Wood isn't alone in his opinion; a petition recently launched to cancel West's slot at Glastonbury had gathered more than 20,000 signatures as of last week.
"How Can It Be?" is not the first book for Wood, who published "Ronnie," an autobiography, in 2007. The guitarist, a former member of the band The Faces with Rod Stewart, is also an accomplished painter.
