On the 20th anniversary of his death, a powerful portrait of Kurt Cobain and Nirvanaincluding many previously unpublished imagestaken during their last formal photo shoot before his suicide
In August 1993, when Nirvana was in New York to perform at the legendary Roseland Ballroom, Jesse Frohman photographed them for the London Observers Sunday magazinethe last formal photo shoot in which Cobain participated before he committed suicide on April 5th, 1994.Over the course of ninety photographs, Cobain seems an almost feral creature, by turns gentle, playful, defiant, suffering, or absorbed in his music. Theres a diverse range of shots of Cobain with fellow band members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl and on his own, posing, performing, and greeting fans. Jon Savages original interview, which appeared with Frohmans photographs in the Observer is also reproduced, giving us Cobain in his own words. The book is a touching tribute to Cobain twenty years after his tragic demise, and following Nirvanas recent induction in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 90 illustrations, 25 in color
