I always find it interesting when a celebrity under the age of 50 writes a memoir. Seriously, what could they have possibly got to share, especially when they’re only in their mid-thirties? Then I look at my own life. I’m in my early thirties and have seen and lived through more than many of my elders.

Everyone’s life is a twisted maze of choices, experiences and stories that deserve to be told, no matter how old the individual is. The important thing about a memoir is that it’s that person’s unique story, shared with those who want to know more.

When I heard that 36-year-old crooner, Michael Buble, had written a memoir, my initial reaction was that of puzzlement. He’s so young, I thought. His career, while successful, has really only just begun. What could he have to share already?

Then after I thought about his success, I realized just how much he’d already accomplished, what a thrill it would be for his fans to get to know him on a more personal level and how much of an inspiration his story could be to other young people who dream of stardom and success in as tough a market as the music industry.

Buble’s memoir, Onstage, Offstage, shares the beginning of his love for music all the way through his current, astonishing success, selling over 25 million copies of his albums worldwide. And the most amazing thing is, he’s not your everyday pop star, his music is jazzy and mellow crooning in the styles of the greats, like Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra.

Counting a celebrity memoir out, based on age alone, is an opportunity to miss a good story. Sure, he or she may have many years ahead, but that doesn’t mean that an early autobiography isn’t a worthwhile read.
