About this listen
This candid memoir of punk rock, fame, and endurance from Deryck Whibley, lead singer of Sum 41, follows Whibley's rise from a punk kid in Canada to an international star.
From his earliest days as a kid in Canada, Deryck Whibley was a punk who loved music and couldn't wait to achieve something bigger and better than the humble path that lay before him. Raised by a single mom and constantly moving from place to place, Deryck was used to being the new kid, starting fights (or finishing them), and finding friends who shared his sensibility for chaotic fun and loud music. Sum 41 was born of a group of friends who loved to jam, shared a DIY ethos, and were determined to be rock stars one day.
Walking Disaster is Deryck's story, but it is also the untold story of Sum 41. Deryck takes you backstage, into the recording booth, and through the highest highs and lowest lows of the band whose story is inextricably woven with his own.
With his insightful, earnest, and genuine voice, Deryck gets real about fame, fortune, and the music industry. From winning at the MTV Video Music Awards, being nominated for a Grammy, his high-profile relationships and friendships, contending with invasive paparazzi, and suffering from health issues that brought him to the brink, Deryck offers a forthright and unforgettable memoir.

Really enjoyed
I loved listening to this book. I’ve been a fan of Sum41 since about 2001 and I loved hearing the story behind the songs, how the band got started and some of the stories in the press. I found the telling of his story open, honest and vulnerable.

I loved having an honest insight into what was going on behind the scenes in the years of sum 41. The brutal the things that were happening in the personal life of my hero growing up and the similarities in our lives.

Decent rock biography
Whibley is honest and has a lot of interesting (and deep, pun not intended) stories to tell. Worth a listen for any pop punk fans.

an honest discussion of the life of a punk rock star
I've only ever been a casual Sum 41 fan, but listening to Whibley discussing his life and the history of the band has really made me appreciate them, I'm sad they're calling it quits but I can appreciate why it was time
