Hi, i'm in need of a book to take on holiday. I've only read one book, 'bit of a blur' and really enjoyed it.
So i'm looking for an autobiography with drugs, sex, rock and roll.

I've not read it personally but Keith Moons biography pretty much meets your criteria.
A little excert from Wiki - as a taster...
Along with his drum sets, Moon's infamous (and favourite) calling card was to flush powerful explosives down the toilet, detonating and ultimately destroying scores of toilets around the world.[6][9] It has been estimated that his destruction of toilets and plumbing ran as high as US$500,000,[10][11] and his repeated practice of blowing up toilets with explosives led to Moon being banned for life from lodging at several hotel chains around the world, including all Holiday Inn, Sheraton, and Hilton Hotels,[12] as well as the Waldorf Astoria.[13] Moon became so notorious for this practice that when Nick Harper was asked about his childhood memories spent around The Who, his first recollection was "I remember Keith blowing up the toilets."

Howard Marks - Mr. Nice?
I have read a couple of Wilbur smith novels and found them very hard to put down, not the criteria your looking at but worth a punt.
Sir Ranulph Fiennes - Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know
He is one amazing nutter!

"Wonderland Avenue" by Danny Sugarman is a very good "drugs, sex, rock'n'roll" biography.
EDIT: FPMSL @ Johnny's link! :D

Just about finished it - very readable and better than I expected it to be, a lot better than the Bon Scott one I read previously.
If you want sex, drug and rock 'n' roll it's got to be the The Dirt.....
