Danny Goldberg, who managed Nirvana during the peak of their influence in the early 90s is set to release a tell-all book, commemorating 25 years since Kurt Cobain’s passing.
The book, Serving the Servant: Remembering Kurt Cobain, will document his time with the band from 19900 to 1994, which will include Goldberg’s personal memories with Cobain as well as interviews and documents that haven’t yet been made public.
According to Rolling Stone, the book will also touch on Cobain’s marriage with Courtney Love, the birth of their daughter Frances Been and Cobain’s struggles with addiction.
“I began to work with Kurt the year before Nevermind was recorded and remained close to him until days before his death,” said Goldberg. Media depictions of Kurt typically focus on the tragedy of his death.
“While it is impossible to ignore the inner demons which tormented him, in researching and writing Serving the Servant I have been more often reminded of Kurt’s brilliance, his sense of humour and his kindness to most of those around him.”
“He was so complex that no two people experienced the same person, but I hope I am able to add another dimension to Kurt’s legacy.”
Serving the Servant: Remembering Kurt Cobain, set for an April 2 release, has already received the stamp of approval from Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore, praising “the story of two men, a generation apart, who became unexpected friends through a mutual appreciation of feminism, LGBT rights and a dedication to the activist power of music.”
