Downfall of a Nineties Legend

Heavier Than Heaven: a Biography of Kurt Cobain by Charles R. Cross
4 stars



This fascinating book thoroughly examines Kurt Cobain’s tragically short life.  The author’s detailed research offers lots of insight into Cobain’s private relationship and conversations as well as his fragile mental state.  In the time just before his death at 27 he lived an incredibly sad life and increasingly found little joy in his former passions.  This is often a difficult book to read, especially as someone who listened to Nirvana and vividly remembers hearing of Cobain’s death but an incredibly well written rock biography.  I received a digital ARC of the 2019 rerelease of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
