FULLY UPDATED AND REVISED, INCLUDING TWO NEW CHAPTERS TO BRING THE
STORY UP TO DATE 'Someone called and said Kurt died. I just f*****g
lost it.' He has sold over 50 million albums. He's been in bands
that have changed popular music forever. He saw his best friend
commit suicide. He starts supergroups. He's the nicest guy in rock.
From Nirvana to Foo Fighters, from brotherhood to bitter rivalry,
from breathless highs to lifeless lows, Paul Brannigan gives an
unparalleled, intimate and extraordinary account of the life and
times of Dave Grohl. In 1990, little-known punk-metal upstarts
Nirvana added a new drummer to the band. They were soon to become a
global phenomenon - but as we all know, things went wrong. Dave's
friend Kurt, frontman of Nirvana, took his own life, plunging the
band and their future into chaos. His friends' grief was mirrored
by worldwide sorrow to an unprecedented degree. Defying
expectations, a knack that was soon to become his trademark, Grohl
refused to see it as the end. In 1995 his new band, the Foo
Fighters, rose to join the pantheon of rock deities. The 'wonder
years' were by no means calm. The spotlit existence imposed by his
celebrity status, the bellowed vilification by his critics and his
high-speed lifestyle proved a dangerous cocktail. With an account
of Grohl's life that is more personal than anything written before,
more startling, more thrilling, more heart-rending and more
inspiring, Paul Brannigan reveals Dave fully for the first time.
This is the story of the man who changed music forever. And he's
not finished yet.
