Brian Wilson has released snippets of his forthcoming book, I Am Brian Wilson: A Memoir.

The book will be released through Da Capo Press on October 11.

The former Beach Boys frontman has had a remarkable recovery in recent years.

Wilson suffered from addiction problems as well has mental health issues which were the basis of some of his erratic behaviors of the past.

The surf rocker has teamed up with Ben Greenman to complete his book.

Greenman also helped George Clinton write his memoir.

Parts of the book are available for free to read on Google Books.

Fans eager to get started can read the entire introduction titled, "Overture."

The introduction begins in 2004 at London's Royal Festival Hall, where he played the Beach Boys album, Smile for the first time.

Other parts available to read include a large portion of the first chapter, and parts of chapters two, three, and six.

Soon to follow, Wilson will release a concert film titled Brian Wilson and Friends.
