About this eBook
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".

Here we have another money-hungry writer who's desperate to make a buck & disgustingly inconsiderate, considering Kurt's daughter left behind, who will end up reading this load of CRAP. The writer didn't do enough research & failed to provide evidence or witnesses for his hateful words of gossip & even writes the wrong words for many recorded quotes from Kurt & Courtney. The writer trashes the troubled, yet intelligent, famous singer & even pokes fun at his thin, long fingers & clothing. Not worth a penny.
