THE MEMORY BOOK OF Dave Grohl, The Storyteller (2021), it was a commercial success. However, not necessarily easy to write by the author.

According to the musician, leader of Foo Fightersa specific episode even caused him “fear” when writing.

It is the Morde de Kurt Cobainformer colleague of Dave Grohl in Nirvana. According to him, approaching this theme was especially difficult because of the emotional burden involved.

In an interview with a television program at the time of launch (and highlighted by Louder), Grohl told what he afflicted on the complexity of the theme. He said:

“It is one thing to write about taking points at age 12 or about taking your children to the parents and daughters ball. Another thing is to write about something you barely talked to people close to. I mean, I ended up revealing some things during the writing of the story I never told my closest friends.

Dave Grohl said one of his concerns was not to deceive readers that his book would bring definitive solutions to unanswered questions, which he also admits to.

Given this, the musician preferred to address the emotional aspect and mourning for Kurt Cobain’s death than suicide itself.

“First of all, I knew what people wanted me to write. I think people have many unanswered questions, just like me. So I decided to write in a much broader emotional sense, the process of loss or mourning, and how it is determined and how it differs from person to person. Yes, it was hard to write.”

Dave Grohl’s feeling

THE BBC (via Far Out), Dave Grohl counted on he felt after Kurt Cobain’s death. He stated:

“I really didn’t have a plan. When everything turns upside down and gets shaken like that, you wake up every day thinking, ‘Who am I, where I’m doing?’… I remember the day after Kurt’s death, how weird wake up knowing that he was no longer between us and I had another day. Like, so what am I doing today? ‘ I think that’s when I started to realize, ‘Ah, ok, you have to do everything from the beginning.’

Kurt Cobain’s death

Kurt Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle on April 8, 1994. Forensic investigations indicated that the death occurred about three days earlier, on April 5.

In previous months, Nirvana’s singer and guitarist was dealing with physical health problems – chronic stomach pain – and with episodes of depression, alcoholism and drug use. In addition, he had suffered an overdose in March 1994 in Rome, an incident that his wife Courtney Love later he classified as an attempt to take his own life.

In April, after leaving a rehabilitation center in Los Angeles, Cobain had erratic behavior in the following weeks, including a return to Seattle. Official reports and the chronology of occurrences were registered by the authorities responsible for the investigation.

A funeral was held on April 10, 1994 at the Seattle Center, where the recording of the Kurt Cobain letter reading by Courtney Love was aired; In later days, fans and colleagues gathered to pay tribute. Cobain’s body was cremated; Part of his ashes was handed over by Love to a Buddhist monastery in Ithaca and another portion was later scattered in McLane Creek in Olympia, according to family arrangements.
