Slash autobiography "almost done"

Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash has revealed that he has penned his life story.

The rocker – who also played with Guns N' Roses – told Glam-Metal.com that the book is expected to hit shelves in November.

He said: "It's almost done! I thought about doing it forever, but I didn't want to look like I was getting bored from what I was doing. Then Velvet Revolver happened and some people thought if I was going to do it, it's a good time to do it because you have another career started.

"Then I started realising the amount of rumours and s**t that Guns N' Roses has generated in all the books that are unauthorised. I hooked up with this guy and I started to do an autobiography and so it's coming out."

But the 42-year-old admitted that he found writing the book harder than he anticipated, saying: "It seems like it's all about me. It's sort of weird. It's got some funny s**t in it. It's not really a book that I'm out attacking anybody or venting all my grievances on it or that kind of s**t. It does sort of factually tell everything that happened since I started till now."
