The lives of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana ended in a single moment, 27 years ago. It is one of the hardest losses in the music world, a personal pain felt by more than one and not two generations. Even if you’ve never been to a Nirvana concert, never seen their music videos, weren’t born when the band thundered and finished its journey— even if you don’t understand a single word in English—you know this music. You know how and when Kurt Cobain died. But do you know what happened before that? The author of this book, Charles R. Cross, managed to reconstruct Kurt’s life and, quite literally, piece together his thoughts and feelings—his earlier childhood and his last days and hours. He conducted more than 400 interviews with Kurt’s loved ones and acquaintances, studied diaries, letters, drawings, photographs, and reviewed police reports from the scene. To date, “Heavier Than Heaven” is the most complete and most moving biography devoted to Kurt Cobain’s life and death. It was written by a devoted admirer of his person and work—for those to whom he was just as dear.
