From Mark Beaumont's profile on www.guardian.co.uk :
"Mark Beaumont is a music journalist with 13 years experience writing for publications including NME, The Guardian, The Times, The Mail On Sunday, Uncut, Melody Maker, Loaded and The Modern Review. His first book Out Of This World: The Story Of Muse was published by Omnibus Press in October 2008 and in 2009 he publishes an official Placebo biography and completes work on his novel '3 Minutes'. Mark has seen the reformed Pixies at least nine times"

And from Mark Beaumont himself on nme.com in response to someone speaking about the biography (September 7th 2009) :
"It's in two volumes now Chris, Volume 1 is done and with their management, not sure of a release date yet"

It seems this music journalist is a Placebo "fan" and friend, and interviewed the band a few times.

He wrote Muse's biography "The Story Of Muse" wich was corrected by the band, so this time maybe we'll have something interresting for a change...

EXPATRIATE’s show in Cologne, Germany on 4th December 2009 marked the last of 24 arena tour dates throughout Europe supporting Placebo. The tour took them through France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Poland and Austria, playing to thousands of people at each show. When EXPATRIATE were approached by film maker Bruno Barthas to document their journey through France and show the fans intimate access to their private thoughts as well as their euphoric stage performances, they were delighted to invite him on the road. Watch the EXPATRIATE Winter 2009 Tour Diary part 2.

It is also available to view on the band's OFFICIAL VIMEO channel. And if you haven’t yet already, you can still watch Part 1 here or on VIMEO.

Is anyone else having trouble with actually finding this in the store? 
You can order it now! ^^ (but omg shipping costs outside of UK are insane :S)
