Stephen Morris, the drummer of New Order will be publishing his autobiography May 2019.
Morris will be the third member of the band to release his own book. It will be published by Constable and is titled Record Play Pause. The memoir follows Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner’s books so it will be interesting to compare how the three remember the events of the band.
The book’s press release states: “Stephen’s book won’t be that typical music autobiography, which tends to be high on mischief and low on the music. Part memoir, part oral history, it will be a hybrid memoir in Stephen’s wry and witty voice.
“Stephen will weave a dual narrative of growing up in the North West during the 1970s with how the music actually works. It will also explore what it is to be part of a mythologized band and the idea of what you do becoming who you are.”
