The singer of the Finnish Pop-Metal band Manzana, Piritta Lumous, is releasing a book based on the European tours of the band. The story is half - fictional, but also informative, giving insights to the bus life and the inner feelings of the bands close to Manzana. The book has already irritated some people having said to appear on it, because of the personal revelations of Miss Lumous. Lumous has only commented on having the freedom of speech to tell about her own life. " We´re all performers, we have agreed to be looked at by the public. I´m not doing this to hurt anyone. Sue me or stop crying." she wrote on her press release. Manzana is fully behind her, so are her label and the publisher. The book named Roadkill- Levottomuuden Anatomia, will be out in the end of March and is released by Nordbooks. Pre-orders on the book at Levykauppa ÄX.
