According to
Crain's New York,
Ecco, an imprint of
HarperCollins, has won an auction to publish the autobiography of rock legend
Steven Tyler.
Terms of the deal were not revealed.
Tyler is a prize catch for the
HarperCollins imprint. In addition to being the driving force behind one of the music industry’s top bands for nearly 40 years, the singer and songwriter has a personal comeback story to tell, having overcome a heroin addiction.
Tyler checked into a facility in Pasadena, California, in May, prompting speculation he had slipped from sobriety, 20 years after he kicked hard drugs.
The vocalist later revealed he was in rehab on doctor's orders because of a foot injury.
