Following news last month that Phil Collins will re-release his solo catalog of music, the former Genesis musician is also set to release an autobiography, publisher Penguin Random House announced Monday.

"Several times over the last few years I have been asked to write a biography but never felt that the time was right—until now," Collins said in a statement on Monday. "Having found the right publisher in Penguin Random House, I am ready to go on record about my life in music with all the highs and all the lows and to tell the story from my point of view, ­warts and all!"

The book is expected to arrive in hardback and ebook editions in October 2016.
