Cross. It has been twenty-five years since Kurt Cobain died by his own hand in April 1994; it was an act of will that typified his short, angry, inspired life. Veteran music journalist Charles R. Cross fuses his intimate knowledge of the Seattle music scene with his deep compassion for his subject in this extraordinary story of artistic brilliance and the pain that extinguished it. Based on more than four hundred interviews; four years of research; exclusive access to Cobain's unpublished diaries, lyrics, and family photos; and a wealth of documentation, Heavier Than Heaven traces Cobain's life from his early days in a double-wide trailer outside of Aberdeen, Washington, to his rise to fame, success, and the adulation of a generation. Charles Cross has written a new preface for this edition, giving readers context for the time in which the book was written, six years after Kurt's death, and reminding everyone how fresh that cultural experience was when the interviews for the book were done. The new final chapter will update the story since, regarding investigations into Cobain's death, Nirvana's induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, and how their place in rock history has only risen over the decades. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 600 10 $a Cobain, Kurt, $d 1967-1994. 650 0 $a Rock musicians $z United States $v Biography. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230503012648.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20200911104731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58A541B0875711E9A56C064497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
