Author Arto Mäenpää - 8.9.2021

Former Mötley Crüe singer John Corabi will be releasing his autobiography titled “Horseshoes And Hand Grenades” on April 12, 2022 via Rare Bird Books. Corabi wrote the book wih the help of historian/author Paul Miles.

In a new interview with Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF radio station, Corabi stated about upcoming autobiography:

“It goes all the way back to, obviously, me being born, but it talks about my parents. My grandparents were first-generation Italians from the Calabria section of Italy. My mother’s side of the family, I talk about them. It talks about me being born, my childhood being very kind of ‘Wonder Years’ — whatever — and then just it completely derailing and falling apart. And it goes into everything. There’s a lot of things that fans don’t know about me — some of my marriages. It talks about, again, my youth, childhood. I dive into the Uncle Jack stories.


Basically, the book is really kind of a testament to [the fact that] I knew at a very young age that I wanted to do what I’m doing for a living,” he continued. “Now, has it panned out the way that the magazines, the articles — you know, Learjets, limousines and all that other stuff? Probably not. But I’m still pushing forward, still trying to find my slice of the pie. But it’s really kind of a testament to perseverance. And it goes right from the time I took my first breath to maybe a year ago.”
