Gossip singer Beth Ditto says she gets graphic in her new autobiography.
NME has spoken to big-lunged frontwoman about her forthcoming memoir Coal To Diamonds, co-written with poet Michelle Tea.
Ditto said there is shocking, and frankly sexual, material in the book but the only embarrassing part was writing about the Gossip’s 2001 debut album That’s Not What I Heard.
She told NME, “The only stuff I'm embarrassed about talking about in it is the first Gossip album. That was kind of embarrassing, but people already know about that.
“In that first album there was stuff about going down on girls, which was pretty cringeworthy. But for the most part I just take it all in my stride, it's fine. I don't get embarrassed easily. I don’t. I could show you my butt cheeks now and I'd be fine about it.”
She also said, "There’s some shit in there that is going to seriously shock the crap out of everyone. Things that’s going to make people forget about me eating squirrels. Totally eclipse it.”
Coal To Diamonds is slated for a March 30 release.
