In July 1993, Nirvana was the biggest band in the world, and Kurt
Cobain was subject to an intense level of celebrity and public
scrutiny. In New York City to play the famed Roseland Ballroom and
promote their new album In Utero, Cobain and Nirvana were
photographed by Jesse Frohman - and Cobain gave a candid interview
to Jon Savage - for an article in the Observer. Only nine months
later, Cobain killed himself. It was the last formal photo shoot
Nirvana ever did, and one of the last major interviews Cobain ever
gave. Twenty years after his death, they are published here
together for the first time since the Observer article, including
previously unpublished material, and accompanied by new commentary
from Frohman and Savage about that day, and an essay by pop culture
maven Glenn O'Brien on what it all might have meant. Frohman's
100-plus photographs, including contact sheets, get to the heart of
one of the most beloved bands of all time, at the height of their
success - and the moment when everything was starting to unravel.
We see Cobain as he was just months before his death, by turns
feral and refined, posing on his own, goofing around with his band
mates, engrossed in his music and always ambivalent about the
spotlight. Savage's interview reveals an optimistic side of Cobain
seemingly at odds with his public image, and particularly poignant
as we look back on his life. This book offers a powerful, moving
portrait of Kurt Cobain and will be an important contribution to
the literature of rock and roll.
