\n\tAs the leaves begin to fall, marking a new season of the same name, several page-turners from music superstars across genres will hit the shelves.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn September, super producer Mark Ronson\u2019s long-teased memoir will arrive. As he wrote in the caption of an Instagram post in May: \u201cYesterday I held my book for the first time. Not in a digital doc or a pdf but as an actual physical object with typeset words and real book font. I somehow forgot that thousands of hours of writing, deleting, doubting, would eventually transform into this tangible thing I can now hold in my hands\u2026flipping through it is fully mind-blowing and emotional.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tIn October, Ozzy Osbourne memoir will be released posthumously. That same month, Cat Stevens will unveil Cat On The Road To Findout: The Official Autobiography (taking its name from Tea for the Tillerman\u2019s \u201cOn the Road to Find Out) and Gucci Mane will share his second memoir (following his first, released in 2016).<\/p>\n
\n\tAnd two country legends \u2014 Kenny Chesney and Dolly Parton \u2014 will release books in November. Perennial chart-topper Chesney brings readers into both his musical legacy and carefree lifestyle, while Parton is offering a deluxe edition of the third part in her photographic memoir collection.<\/p>\n
\n\tChesney announced his book in February on CBS Mornings, saying: \u201cFor the first time, I get to share with my audience and the world a lot of unique stories\u2026As far as being in the business, I\u2019ve never been good at talking about myself\u2026But now I felt it was the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
