Halestorm’s frontwoman Lzzy Hale has revealed her unconventional approach to writing her biography in a recent interview with Make It Perfect. She plans to present her life story as a fantasy novel while preserving the authenticity of events.
“I’ve been writing my biography, but it is also a fantasy novel because all the names have been changed, but the stories are true. And this is how I feel comfortable doing my biography,” Hale stated.
“The thing that makes me sad about reading people’s biographies, especially in the music business, is that then you know their secrets, you know they’ve been raped, or you know their parents don’t like them, or you know that they have to struggle to be sober, or they almost died,” she explained.
“And it’s, like, it ruins the magic, because when I think about [Ronnie James] Dio or I think about David Lee Roth or I think about Eddie Van Halen or I think about Alice Cooper, I think about them as being the gods of rock and roll — you know, Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi. I don’t wanna know that their mom didn’t let ’em suck on their thumb when they were kids,” she added.
This unique approach to autobiography exemplifies Hale’s broader creative philosophy and recent artistic endeavors.
