Sum 41's Deryck Whibley shares the traumas & triumphs from his new memoir

Allison sits down with Deryck Whibley, the frontman of the multi-platinum-selling Canadian rock band, Sum 41. In their nearly 30 year career, Sum 41 have firmly cemented their place in rock history with over 15 million records sold worldwide, multiple Billboard charting releases, a Grammy nomination, two Juno Awards…and now, the stories behind that journey - both the triumphs and the traumas - are being shared for the very first time in this book, “Walking Disaster,” written by Deryck Whibley himself. They talk all about the traumas and triumphs of his life, moving 19 times by the time he was 17, abuse he faced both at home and in the business, his catapult into fame, his relationships with Paris Hilton and Avril Lavigne, his addiction and roch bottom moments, how far he has come, and the lessons learned along the way. • Watch & Subscribe https://youtube.com/AllisonHagendorf • Listen & Follow: https://link.chtbl.com/TheAllisonHagendorfShow • Follow Allison: https://instagram.com/allisonhagendorf https://TikTok.com/@allihagendorf https://twitter.com/allihagendorf Official Website: https://allisonhagendorf.com The Allison Hagendorf Shop: https://allisonhagendorf.myshopify.com Presented by Cloud Water Visit https://www.cloudwaterbrands.com & Use code Allison30 for 30% your next order An A-Game Production / Recorded at Danny Wimmer Presents Studios Produced by Allison Hagendorf, Brian Jaffe, & Jake Miller Guest gift bags - Arctic Zone https://arcticzone.com Show Open Created & Edited by Guerilla McGavin https://instagram.com/guerillamcgavin https://guerillamcgavin.com Show Open Music (Courtesy of Island Records): Kid Brunswick - Bipolar Rhapsody - https://sptfy.com/Q31a Show Music: Ferdinand fka Left Boy - Sex Party - https://spoti.fi/3juqX1O #DeryckWhibley #Sum41 #WalkingDisaster 00:00 - Show Open 02:42 - Deryck Whibley Interview 03:53 - Process of Writing Walking Disaster 09:18 - Upbringing 11:02 - Music as Solace 13:33 - Nirvana & Kurt’s Death 15:41 - Committing to Music & Meeting Greig Nori 20:02 - Into Too Deep 22:09 - Sum 41 Rise to Success 25:14 - Back to Into Too Deep & Greig Nori 28:23 - The Dark side of Greig Nori 32:18 - MTV 20th Anniversary Special 35:50 - Drugs & Success 36:53 - That Night in Tokyo 42:55 - Panic Disorder 44:20 - Paris Hilton & The Scott Weiland Story 50:22 - Avril Lavigne 53:24 - Abuse from Greig Nori 58:07 - Nerves & Courage 59:32 - Lessons Learned & The Gift of Injury 1:01:34 - Rehab Too Early 1:04:34 - Ari & Hitting Rock Bottom 1:08:14 - Gratitude, Happiness, Fatherhood 1:09:38 - Landmines & The Final Chapter 1:11:32 - Legacy 1:13:10 - Proudest Moment & What’s Next 1:15:48 - Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
