Penny Lancaster receives mass support after big announcement following Sir Rod's health woes
Rod Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster has made a huge announcement in the midst of her husband's ongoing health battle which has seen him cancel eight of his recent shows. Penny Lancaster is set to release a tell-all autobiography about her life alongside her famous rockstar husband, Sir Rod Stewart. The 54-year-old recently penned a deal with publishers, Bloomsbury for her book, Someone Like Me, which will launch on September 25. Penny's exciting new career move comes as her 80-year-old hubby continues to battle the flu after already cancelling several gigs ahead of his highly anticipated Glastonbury Legends Slot at the end of this month. The mum-of-two has The mum of two has packed a lot into her life and her book will explore all aspects of her life, including the good, the bad and the ugly as well as new information about her life that not much had been known about until now. Penny is set to discuss a range of difficult topics including her upbringing, the cruel bullying she suffered through at school, how she coped with undiagnosed dyslexia and a harrowing sexual assault she suffered as a young girl. She will also open up about what it was like working in the fashion industry, her life with her Rod, their children and their blended family as well as her campaigning efforts for women's health and safety and her work as a special constable, the Express reports. A release for the publication says: "Told with her trademark empathy and humour, Penny shares her wisdom from her hard-earned lessons, showing that the key to navigating both storms and sunshine is always staying true to yourself." Katy Follain, Head of Bloomsbury General, teased fans: "Her book is a heady mix of royalty, rock legends and renegades, one that will entertain but also inspire other women, and hopefully help them on their own life journey." Speaking about her new venture Penny said: "I'm really delighted to be publishing my memoir with Bloomsbury. Through this process, what I've ultimately learnt is that living your most fulfilling life means being kind, cherishing your friendships, finding your passion, realising your potential and staying true to yourself. My hope is that you enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed writing it." Since she personally relates to the struggles of dyslexics, Penny's book will be in a dyslexia friendly format and she will voice the audiobook herself rather than having an actor do it. Fans were thrilled by the announcement and expressed their excitement to read the book after Penny revealed the news in an Instagram post this morning. Flocking to the comment section, one wrote: "Congratulations, can't wait to read!" Another chimed in: "I look forward to reading it. Penny has such dignity and grace". Someone else penned: "Can't wait! You have a very interesting life xx" Meanwhile a fourth shared: " Really looking forward to reading this Penny." Penny's announcement comes just days after Sir Rod had to cancel a string of shows on doctors orders. Taking to Instagram last week, Rod said he was "devastated" to be cancelling six of his US shows, four in Las Vegas and two in California, while he continues to recover from the flu. This brings the total of performances the Maggie May star has cancelled in recent weeks to eight, while he rests before he is due to take to the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival's Legends Slot later this month. He wrote: "I have to cancel and reschedule my next six concerts in June as I continue to recover from the flu. So sorry my friends. I'm devastated and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience to my fans. I'll be back on stage and will see you soon." He has now postponed all shows up until June 15, which is just a fortnight before he is due to perform at Glastonbury on Sunday June 29.
