Next year, the Grateful Dead will celebrate their 50th anniversary and to commemorate the special year, drummer Bill Kreutzmann will release Deal: My Three Decades of Drumming, Dreams and Drugs with The Grateful Dead. Kreutzmann confirmed that he sat down with longtime Jambands.com and Relix contributor Benjy Eisen two years ago to begin crafting the book that, in total, spans more than 400 pages.

Pre-order information is forthcoming.

Kreutzmann included the following message via his Facebook page:

A little more than two years ago, I sat down with Rolling Stone’s Benjy Eisen and we began to turn my stories into words on a page. Turns out, it was a very long story. More than 400 pages later, here’s the Deal. My ups, my downs, and the Grateful Dead’s all-arounds. Pre-order information available soon.
