Sum 41's Deryck Whibley shares the traumas & triumphs from his new memoir

The Allison Hagendorf Show

Allison sits down with Deryck Whibley, the frontman of the multi-platinum-selling Canadian rock band, Sum 41. In their nearly 30 year career, Sum 41 have firmly cemented their place in rock history with over 15 million records sold worldwide, multiple Billboard charting releases, a Grammy nomination, two Juno Awards…and now, the stories behind that journey - both the triumphs and the traumas - are being shared for the very first time in this book, “Walking Disaster,” written by Deryck Whibley himself. They talk all about the traumas and triumphs of his life, moving 19 times by the time he was 17, abuse he faced both at home and in the business, his catapult into fame, his relationships with Paris Hilton and Avril Lavigne, his addiction and roch bottom moments, how far he has come, and the lessons learned along the way.
