SINGING star Joe Longthorne signed copies of his autobiography for fans at a York bookstore.

The book talks candidly about his rise and fall from grace during the 1980s and 1990s, his near brushes with death from cancer in 2005 and his latest comeback on to the world stage. The book was written from Joe’s words by journalist and support act Chris Berry.

Joe said: “It’s been wonderful just to see all of these lovely people turn out for me.”
