Rod Stewart has signed a deal with Random House to pen a tell-all memoir due out next year. Stewart says that he intends to "hold nothing back" in the book, and will be rather explicit in writing about his prolific love life. "Forget skeletons in the closet; this one's going to be socks and knickers under the bed," the singer said in a statement.

In addition to opening up about his string of romances with various blonde bombshells, Stewart's book is likely to touch on the various phases of his long-running career in rock, his battle with thyroid cancer and his youth in North London.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
