Mike Campbell, former guitarist for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, will release his memoir, Heartbreaker, on March 18, 2025.

“This is my book,” Campbell said in a press release. “It’s the story of a poor kid from Jacksonville, Florida who realized a dream through music. It’s a long journey through hard work, dedication and luck. Playing guitar and writing songs has been my inspiration and purpose. It’s a story of hope, redemption and gratitude, a testimonial that dreams can come true if you believe in yourself and follow your truth. It took two years to write and it’s a labor of love. I hope you enjoy the ride!”

Heartbreaker is currently available for pre-ordering.

“Mike Campbell’s Heartbreaker is everything one hopes for in a rock memoir,” Ben Schafer, Executive Editor for Grand Central Publishing added. “Like the remarkable body of work he co-created with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, it delivers on every level from beginning to end.”

Mike Campbell’s Recent Work

Campell released a new album earlier this year with his band the Dirty Knobs, titled Vagabonds, Virgins & Misfits.

“My approach to songwriting is the same as it’s ever been,” Campbell told UCR back in June. “Except when I was partnered with Tom, I mostly just did music. I would make music tracks and give them to him and if he liked it, he would write the words. Now that he’s gone, I have my own band, I’m exploring the lyrics and the characters, as well as the music. So that’s a new frontier, but I’m really taking to it and I’m just trying to get good at it, you know? … This new album, I think, has some really good lyrics, and the band, as always. And just, you know, the music is just — it’s always there. I write all the time, you know, and that hasn’t waned at all.”

Currently, Campbell is on the road performing on the Life Is A Carnival: Last Waltz Tour, which also includes another former Heartbreaker, keyboardist Benmont Tench.
