The Jonas Brothers are urging fans to “please be patient” with them as they continue to work on their forthcoming memoir.
PEOPLE was in attendance at the JONASCON event on Sunday, March 23, where Nick, Kevin and Joe Jonas unveiled a photo of their long-awaited book Blood, and finally shared new details about their memoir years after announcing it was in the works.
During the keynote portion of the event held in New Jersey, an image of the band’s new book appeared on the big screen as they joked onstage it was “the wrong slide.”
Nick, 32, then said, “There’s a lot of things in motion and you know, we had that book ready to come out and we looked at each other and said ‘our story is just beginning to be told. There’s a lot more we want to write.’ So please be patient as we continue to tell this story that each and every one of you are a part of.”
The singer shared that the memoir right now is “just not ready,” saying, “We’ve got to live some more life, do some more stuff, but we appreciate y’all and your patience.”
Fans have been waiting a long time for the release of the band’s upcoming memoir after they announced it almost six years ago.
The book was initially described as being told through each brother’s perspective and journeys in the band behind closed doors, from their formation in 2005, to their breakup in 2013 and reunion six years later.
In June 2021, Joe, 35, posted an excerpt from the memoir on Instagram, writing, “The tsunami inside of me built until it broke and crashed through everything in its path… But sometimes things need to break down so they can be built up again on a stronger foundation. As we grow through our lives, I know I’ll always have my brothers, as family, as friends, and as BLOOD.”
The book was slated to be released by Dey Street Books in November 2021 before being put on hold.

The event featured live performances from the band and lots of surprise announcements including the release date of their forthcoming album, their upcoming holiday movie A Very Jonas Christmas and Joe’s new album coming out in May.
In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE at the event, Nick said of putting it together, “It’s been a real journey planning all this … This idea started about a year and a half ago, and we said, ‘Let’s see if we can pull this off’ … it’s been incredible to see the reaction, and to see how many people registered to come.”
“…This is really a thank you to the fans,” he added.
