It was with great surprise to me that I saw articles recently relating to my book, as work is still in progress finalising everything. The internet-led world we live in doesn\u2019t make it easy to keep secrets! However, I was secretly desperate to tell you all about this book, as my life story is something that I am very proud of \u2014 even though I suspect that some of the details will surprise you just as they did me as I lived through them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Recollecting my life as I have done in this book has often brought me to close to tears, but has also made me laugh with the fondest memories. It is true that I have made many friends along the way but it is also true that I have made some enemies. But one thing is for sure: the music that has been everything to me has not only been my salvation, but has also brought me closer to the people of so many nations\u2014 and I can honestly say that I consider all of you to be my very dear friends.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Heavy Duty is now destined to come your way in September, and it is my proudest moment to be able to share it with you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>K.K.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>K.K.
