Paul Weller warts and all biography to be released
Paul Weller is to be the subject of a warts and all biography.
The book entitled 'Paul Weller: The Changing Man' has been penned by ex-NME journalist and friend Paolo Hewitt.
It charts the Modfather's life both on and off stage and is due to be released in September.
"This is the frankest ever portrait of Paul," said Hewitt. "It's not a 'he is wonderful' book but a 'how he is' book - flaws and greatness revealed."
Hewitt has known Weller since the pair were teenagers growing up in Woking, Surrey, reports The Sun. |
