"Walking Disaster: My Life Through Heaven and Hell," a memoir written by Sum 41's Deryck Whibley, reveals a painful secret that the frontman says he's kept hidden from his bandmates for years, alleging sexual abuse at the hands of the band's former manager at the height of his fame as a young man.
In an interview with The Los Angeles Times pegged to the October 8 release of the book, Whibley says “I don’t look at my life as anything worth reading . . . I’m just a guy who wrote some songs and had some success and went through a couple things. But then I thought, the idea of wrapping Sum 41 up [with a book] is a good way to move on from my past. I’m starting a new chapter."
