Veteran British entertainer Elvis Costello's new memoir has been 10 years in the making.
The Oliver's Army singer has revealed he was first approached to write about his life story after the success of his debut album, My Aim Is True, but he declined as was just 24, reported Hollywood.Com.
He revisited the idea decades later, and started putting pen to paper around 2005 - but even then, Costello admits progress was slow going.
"I was asked to write it when I was 24... And I figured maybe I should do some things first. So now I've done some things.
"I started about 10 years ago and I tore up a lot of versions of it and then the last three or four years I really went to work on it," Costello said.
The 61-year-old star has since unveiled Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink.
