Johnny Marr

Johnny Marr

Johnny Marr has confirmed he is to tell all about his time in The Smiths by writing his memoirs - but the book won't hit shelves for at least two years.

The guitarist revealed earlier this year he has been offered a deal to pen his autobiography, and now he's confirmed he has agreed to write his life story.

It will be several years before he even starts work on the project - because the busy musician wants to give his rock 'n' roll duties priority.

Marr tells NME magazine, "It is happening. I'm going to leave it a couple of years yet, because it will take me away from making music. But that is the next thing after writing a few records - definitely."
