Liza Minnelli unveils memoir cover and says: “You’ll laugh hard and maybe shed a few tears”

She writes:

Hi Babies, here’s my book cover reveal! Writing “Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!” opened my heart in ways I’ve never known. You’ll find lots of love, surprises and my truth. When you read or listen to my book, you’ll laugh hard and maybe shed a few tears… not for me, for human conditions we all face.

Thank you to my darling Michael Feinsten, my co-authors Josh Getlin, Heidi Evans, Victoria Varela, Carrberry Companies, and each of you for staying beside me all these years. I feel your love, and return it.

Now, some very silly people love slinging mud. Shame on them. The uninformed and bitter weaponize my heart, my friendships, my family, my openness. Putting the naysayers back on their heels with my truth was a motivator in writing my book. I used to say to Michael, after years of recording and remembering, “Tell it when I’m gone!” Then I realized not being able to defend anything or anyone, would put him in such a terrible situation.

If people are rude enough to claim that my dearest chum and favorite collaborator is running my life, or that AI is running my life- imagine what would happen once I join the celestial choir? The sad part is, posting cruel untruths causes more confusion between reality and fakery. People who know and love me understand my life yesterday and today.

In my book, there is dish, delight, hurt and heaven. High notes. Low notes. Knock me down 9 times, and I’ll get back up 10. Most of all, there is so much love. Daddy, Mama, my siblings, yes my marriages, friends and each of you who lift me up.

One major reason to reveal so much, came after heartbreaking consultations with the UN and World Health Organization. I’ve learned that nearly 1 billion people are fighting a war with SUD (Substance Use Disorder). I am one of those people, living one day at a time.

If someone you know is fighting to live, I believe my story will help remove shame, stigma and encourage recovery. I’m already starting to sign, and for the uninformed, I don’t use auto-pen. Honey, get ready. If you want to pre-order, there’s a link in my bio.
Love,
Liza
