The Jonas Brothers are ready to tell all in their first memoir.
The Grammy-nominated trio, Nick, Joe and Kevin, have signed a book deal with Macmillan imprint Feiwel and Friends, it was announced Tuesday, to release Blood, a memoir that will detail their origins as a band, their rise to stardom, the secrets behind their breakup and their recent return to the music scene.
The brothers will write the memoir with author Neil Strauss (The Dirt).
“We’re three brothers from New Jersey, and we were not supposed to be successful,” said Joe Jonas in a statement. “From record labels dropping us to our dad losing his job over us, this shouldn’t have happened or lasted as long as it did. Yet here we are, more excited than ever, and we’re so grateful and ready to tell the full story of the journey we’ve had as individuals, as artists, and as family.”
