Thirty years after the release of Nirvana’s final studio album, In Utero, there are somehow still new things to learn about the band, as original biographer Michael Azerrad proves in his upcoming expanded edition of his classic 1993 book, Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana. The new book, The Amplified Come As You Are (due Oct. 24) more than doubles the length of the original version, with new information from Azerrad’s original interviews, corrections (no, Kurt Cobain never actually lived under a bridge), and reflections on the initial text.

Rock legend Kurt Cobain was killed, an award-winning documentary maker is claiming. Filmmaker and writer Ian Halperin, 58, who has investigated the Nirvana frontman’s suicide since it left rock fans reeling in 1994, has declared in his new book ‘Case Closed: The Cobain Murder. The Killing and Cover Up of Kurt Cobain’ contains a “convincing argument” the late rocker did not take his life, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“In this book, I conclude unwaveringly, the police got it wrong a thousand per cent, and it was a murder. The verdict should be changed from suicide to murder. And all this relies on the forensic pathological evidence, new evidence I’ve dug up,” Ian told The US Sun.
Stressing he is not accusing any individual of murder, Ian added he is challenging Kurt’s widow Courtney Love, 58, to take a lie detector test to set the record straight after years of fevered speculation...

On March 25, 1994 — just 11 days before Kurt Cobain died by suicide — Danny Goldberg flew to Seattle in a desperate attempt to save his life. “I felt impotent,” he recalled of the intervention. “Just a few months earlier, he had told a journalist I was like a ‘second father’ to him…now I could barely reach him.”
It has taken Goldberg, who was Nirvana’s co-manager from 1990 until Cobain’s death, 25 years to tell his story. The result is Serving the Servant: Remembering Kurt Cobain, a warmly told, richly detailed memoir that...

Next week marks the 25th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death, but Danny Goldberg says he’s only recently come to terms with the tragedy. “There was a long period of time where just thinking about it and getting into it this deeply would have been too painful for me,” the Nirvana co-manager tells Rolling Stone.
A couple years ago, during the 2017 holiday season, Goldberg decided he was ready to tell his story and put together a book proposal. “The circumstances inside my head and my availability to focus on it came together,...
