The Smiths drummer Mike Joyce is publishing an autobiography.
The Drums, according to a synopsis, offers a first-hand view of the band’s history, as told by “the self-confessed biggest Smiths fan in the world”. It continues: “His off-piste, frank and witty perspective allows him to re-contextualise fan favourite moments through a beautifully vulnerable, human insight into his life.”
Joyce becomes the third member of The Smiths to publish a memoir, following Morrissey’s 2013 book Autobiography and Johnny Marr’s Set The Boy Free from 2016.
New Modern will publish The Drums on November 6, 2025.
