Michael Azerrad to help pen Bob Mould's autobiography

Few capture the essence of the essence of the Renaissance man as well as Hüsker Dü frontman-turned-soloist-turned-professional wrestler-turned nightclub owner Bob Mould. Chronicling a life story like that ain't chump change, so it's a good thing he recently tapped Michael Azerrad to help him write his autobiography.

Mould dished on the book in a statement from his publisher: "For many years, people have asked if and when I would write my autobiography. I have always looked forward to this point in time, where I could tell my stories, to answer the many questions about the music and the lifestyle, and how they inform the creative process. I have not been alone on this ride: friends and foes, mentors and associates, peers, lovers, all traveling by my side. The ride so far has been incredible, and I hope to do my memory right in documenting the journey."

Mould would be hard pressed to pick a better co-author than MTV News and Rolling Stone alum Azerrad, the author of seminal rock tomes Come As You Are and Our Band Could Be Your Life. The as-yet-untitled autobiography will be published by Little Brown and Company, and is slated for release in Fall of 2010.
