            Through Heaven and Hell by Deryck


            Whibley






            This candid memoir of music, fame, and endurance from Deryck Whibley, lead singer of Sum 41, follows
            his rise from a punk kid to an international star. From his earliest days growing up in Canada, Deryck
            Whibley was a punk who loved music and couldn’t wait to achieve something bigger and better than the
            humble path that lay before him. Whibley was raised by a single mom and their small family constantly
            moved from place to place, so he was used to being the new kid, starting fights (or finishing them), and
            connecting with people who shared his sensibility for chaotic fun and loud music. Sum 41 was born of a
            group of friends who loved to jam, shared a DIY ethos, and were determined to be rock stars one day.
            Walking Disaster is Whibley’s story, but it is also the untold story of Sum 41. Whibley takes you backstage,
            into the recording booth, and through the highest highs and lowest lows of the band whose story is
            inextricably woven with his own. With his insightful, earnest, and genuine voice, Whibley gets real about
            fame, fortune, and the music industry. Detailing everything from winning at the MTV Video Music Awards
            and being nominated for a Grammy to revisiting his high-profile relationships and friendships, contending
            with invasive paparazzi, and suffering from health issues that brought him to the brink, Whibley offers a
            forthright and unforgettable memoir.
