Former The Hollies and Crosby, Stills & Nash star Graham Nash is penning his memoir after signing a new deal with publishers Random House.

The rocker reveals the story of his life sparked a bidding war among New York's top publishers and he eventually chose to go with Random House's offshoot Crown Archetype because they offered him "over seven figures".

English-born Nash tells the New York Times his book will be full of honest recollections of his amazing life.

He says, "I've been as honest as I can be. If they asked me a question about drugs, I answered them. You ask me a question, you’re going to get an answer. Whether you like the answer or not is your problem, but you’ll get an answer."

The untitled memoir will be released at the end of 2013 and Nash assures music and book fans alike his life story will be riveting: "I’ve had an incredible ringside seat to the last 50-odd years of rock 'n' roll.

"I think people will be very interested to know what the British Invasion was like, what Woodstock was like, what my friends are like, what trouble we got into, what heights we scaled. I think they'll be interested in all of it."
