Heavier Than Heaven: The Biography of Kurt Cobain

This is the definitive biography on Kurt Cobain. It has been hailed as "a joy to read" by the Observer, "superbly researched" by the Sunday Times, and according to Lynn Barber of the Daily Telegraph, it "is, or should be, the last word on Kurt Cobain."

Kurt Cobain's life and death quickly became rock 'n' roll legend. The global success of his band, Nirvana, shaped the music scene of the early 1990s, and their songs resonated with and spoke for a generation. Charles R. Cross, a veteran music journalist from the Seattle scene, narrates this extraordinary story of artistic brilliance and the pain that ultimately extinguished it. Heavier Than Heaven offers the definitive account of one of the twentieth century's most creative and troubled musical geniuses, and it includes a new introduction commemorating twenty-five years since Cobain's death. Q Magazine declared it "wins immediate entry into the rock lit pantheon. Five stars."
