Yoh fam, we can finally exhale — Lionel Richie’s long-awaited memoir has officially dropped!

The legendary All Night Long hitmaker had us counting down the days since he teased the release earlier this year, promising a September debut — and true to his word, it’s landed right on time with no delays!

Clearly over the moon about this milestone, Lionel didn’t want to celebrate solo. Nope, he made sure his fans were right there with him! Taking to Instagram, he shared a sweet unboxing moment where he received the first copy of his memoir. With a face full of joy and childlike excitement, he opened the box on camera and gave fans a glimpse of the special moment.

And just to make it extra personal, he captioned the video with pure excitement — here’s what he wrote:

“This is it, friends. Holding the first copy of my memoir fresh off the press. I poured my heart into these pages, and soon I will get to share it all with you. Preorder your copy at the link in bio,” wrote Lionel.

What Truly memoir is all about

If you have always been a fan of Lionel Richie but never quite knew the full story behind the legend, his new memoir Truly spills it all.

The You Are My Destiny singer opens up like never before, sharing a deeply personal look at his journey — from a quiet, ADHD-diagnosed kid in Tuskegee, Alabama, to one of the most beloved voices in music history.

In the memoir, Lionel takes us through the pivotal moments that shaped him: growing up during the Civil Rights movement, forming The Commodores, breaking into Motown, soaring to solo stardom, and co-writing the iconic We Are the World.

Want to get your hands on the copy early? Just hit the link in Lionel’s Instagram bio to preorder now.
