Lionel Richie is putting pen to paper and writing a book about his life.

The book, which doesn’t yet have a title, will be published on 30th September 2025.

The publishers promise it will be an “intimate, deeply candid memoir,” in which the author “seeks to inspire all who doubt themselves or feel their dreams don’t matter by chronicling lessons learned in the course of his most unlikely of success stories — from a painfully shy, ‘tragically’ late bloomer grappling with ADHD to his dramatic transformation into a world-class entertainer and composer of love songs that have played like the soundtrack of our lives.”
