(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - Courtney Love, the hard-living rock star known as much for her misbehavior as for her music, is planning to tell all.

The 47-year-old daughter of a Grateful Dead road manager, known for her band Hole and for her marriage to Kurt Cobain, has a book deal with William Morrow.

Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, announced Thursday that Love will "set the record straight" in the as yet untitled memoir. It is expected to deal with life with Cobain, the Nirvana leader who died in 1994, her drug problems and her Hollywood career. Cobain and Love had a daughter, Frances Bean, now 19.

The memoir is scheduled to come out next fall.

Love is among several musicians who recently agreed to write memoirs, perhaps encouraged by the success of Keith Richards' "Life" and Steven Tyler's "Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?" Signed for memoirs are Neil Young, Pete Townshend, Carole King and Gregg Allman.
