YUNGBLUD is releasing his own ‘interactive, illustrated’ book

Fresh from unveiling his very own festival, YUNGBLUD has just announced details of a new booked entitled You Need To Exist.

Due out on August 15 via Penguin, the musician has been busy putting together yet another ambitious, creative endeavour for his fans – and, indeed, he describes You Need To Exist as a journal to inspire and help people out, as it is ‘interactive’ according to a press release.

“I have made it my mission to unite as many people as I possibly can,” YUNGBLUD explains. “I wanted to make something that would go beyond the traditional idea of a book and bring as many people together as possible. I want this book to help you figure out who you are, even if you might have a pretty good idea already. It will encourage you to confess what you love about yourself, destroy your deepest insecurities, and face your darkest fears.

“This isn’t a book to sit quietly on your shelf, You Need To Exist is made to be scribbled in, painted over, broken, buried, thrown around a room with its pages ripped out before you send it out to the world. I want this book to be a place you find comfort, hope and ideas that you can carry with you every day. A constant reminder and a challenge to create without judgement. I can’t wait to see what you make with it!”

The book – which was written and illustrated by YUNGBLUD – includes art, his own experiences, and even some previously-unreleased lyrics.
