Bono has a new book coming out, and he’ll spend the month on November on the road promoting it. The illustrious U2 frontman’s memoir SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story — so titled because each chapter is named after a different U2 song — is out Nov. 1. The next day, Bono launches his “Stories Of Surrender” tour in New York, the first of seven dates in North America and seven more in Europe and the British Isles.

In a press release, Bono offered an especially Bono-esque statement about the tour:

I miss being on stage and the closeness of U2’s audience. In these shows I’ve got some stories to sing, and some songs to tell… Plus I want to have some fun presenting my ME-moir, SURRENDER, which is really more of a WE-moir if I think of all the people who helped me get from there to here.

Tickets for the book tour go on sale here this Friday, Oct. 7 at 10AM local time. The dates are below.
