Dave Grohl Releasing First Memoir ‘The Storyteller’
The nicest guy in rock is ready to share his story. Dave Grohl, former Nirvana drummer, and current Foo Fighters frontman, is dropping his first memoir later this year. Inspired by his Dave’s True Stories Instagram account, The Storyteller will include a bunch of interesting and heartfelt tales from Grohl’s life. Everything from his childhood to time his time in Nirvana and the past 25 years with the Foo Fighters will be discussed.
Of course, there’ll be stories involving some of Grohl’s famous friends, with the book including anecdotes about David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Joan Jett, Tom Petty, and Paul McCartney to name a few. In a statement about the book Grohl said:
“There is a common thread that runs throughout everything that I do: storytelling. Whether in song, documentary film or on the page, I have always felt compelled to share moments from my life. This inclination is a huge part of what excites me creatively but also as a human being. In March 2020, realizing that my day job with the Foo Fighters was going to go on hold, I started an Instagram account (@davestruestories) and decided to focus all of my creative energy on writing some of my stories down, something I love doing but I’ve never really had the time for. I soon found that the reward I felt every time I posted a story was the same as the feeling I get when playing a song to an audience, so I kept on writing.”
“The response from readers was a soul-filling as any applause in an arena. So, I took stock of all the experiences I’ve had in my life-incredible, difficult, funny, and emotional-and decided it was time to finally put them into words. Now with the amazing people at Dey Street Books, I’m excited and honored to announce THE STORYTELLER, a collection of memories of a life lived loud. From my early days growing up in the suburbs of Washington, DC, to hitting the road at the age of 18, and all the music that followed, I can now share these adventures with the world, as seen and heard from behind the microphone. Turn it up!”
The Storyteller is shaping up as one of the must-read music books of 2021 and is dropping October 5th. Watch the video below for more information about the book from the man himself.
