Former NSync singer Lance Bass has inked a discount with Simon and Schuster to write a memoir.


The onetime ‘N Sync heartthrob, 27, plans to reveal “all about his life, his music and his sexuality” in a memoir, Out of Sync, his publisher, Simon Spotlight Entertainment (an imprint of Simon & Schuster), announced Wednesday.
The book will hit stores in October.



In it, Bass will tell readers about his childhood in small-town Mississippi, his experiences as a member of the hugely popular boy band (which started with a phone call from Justin Timberlake when Bass was 16), and, in 2002, his four months in Russia training to be a cosmonaut on a space mission (though he was forced to drop out
because of a lack of funds).



He will also talk about his life as a gay man, including his struggle to keep his sexuality hidden from fans and his decision to come out of the closet on the cover of PEOPLE in July.

We’d almost forgotten about the “Lance in Space” project that was canceled. You’d think he could have done a fundraiser or something to raise money so he could go to space. Still, maybe the dream will be kept alive if the book sells really, really well.
