Kurt Cobain
The biography which explores the drama of Kurt Cobain's troubled life.
A vivid insider's view of the life and death of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, a man who galvanised a generation and gave birth to the grunge revolution Christopher Sandford is a well-respected journalist, who has also written excellent biographies of Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton 'Wise and well-written' Maxim 'Sandford excels in his portrait of the barren cultural desert which provided the backdrop for Cobain's upbringing, and is equally acute in his description of the ragged, glorious, melodic rush of Nirvana's music ... Compulsive' Q.

Description
In this compelling biography, Christopher Sandford explores the full, inside story of Kurt Cobain. From the disruptive childhood which had such a crucial impact on Cobain's personality to the ambitious career musician who, as a friend said, 'lunged for success', and the worldwide breakthrough of Nirvana's Nevermind, Sandford also writes about Cobain's stormy marriage to Courtney Love, his heroin addiction, and how he became more and more of a recluse.
Finally, he writes of the crisis when, in April 1994, Cobain turned a shotgun on himself and became a martyr for disaffected youth. The result is a saga of success and corruption which John Peel has called 'the ultimate rock and roll morality story'.
