Red Hot Chili Peppers’ bassist Flea to publish his memoir this fall

Flea, the iconic bass player of Red Hot Chili Peppers, will soon release his own memoir. He has been working on the book for the last four years and we should expect a book about his “young, rebellious life on the streets of LA” and “the tumultuous creative journey of the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers through its various incarnations over the last 30 years” - according to a press release.

The memoir is called "Acid For the Children" and will arrive on September 25th via Grand Central Publishing. An online listing describes it thusly:

Iconic bassist and co-founder of the immortal Red Hot Chili Peppers finally tells his fascinating life story, complete with all the dizzying highs and the gutter lows you’d expect from an LA street rat turned world-famous rock star.

It appears Flea wrote the memoir without the help of a ghostwriter.
