Kurt Cobain, legendary lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter of Nirvana, “the flagship band of Generation X,” still remains an object of reverence for music fans while his legacy continues to fascinate, inspire, and haunt us, despite the many years that have passed since Kurt Cobain took his own life in April 1994.

For the first time, Kurt's story was shared in-depth in the acclaimed 2015 film, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, a fully authorized feature documentary produced with the cooperation of his widow, Courtney Love, and the Cobain Estate and access to Kurt Cobain’s personal archive was generously shared.

Brett Morgen was the writer, director, and producer of the esteemed film, and visual artist, Frances Bean Cobain, (Cobain’s daughter), was the executive producer of the documentary.

This riveting chronicle, which accompanies award-winning director Brett Morgen's documentary, paints an illuminating and honest portrait of the Nirvana frontman, capturing the contradictions that made up his character: he could be sincere and sentimental but also ironic and sarcastic, was sweet yet sour, and was both serious and yet very funny.

This volume features expanded, exclusive interviews from the film with family and friends who knew him best, while showcasing the film’s incredible visuals with a mixture of animation stills, never-seen-before photographs and artwork combined with other treasures from Kurt Cobain’s personal archive.

Director Brett Morgen also offers his personal thoughts on the creation of the film and the need to shatter the mythos that surrounds Cobain.

It is the ultimate book for fans of Nirvana, whose popularity continues to endure, and of Kurt, who remains a fascinating icon of popular culture.
