Dave Grohl Book: The Biography of Dave Grohl

University Press returns with another short and captivating biography of one of history’s most compelling figures, Dave Grohl. Dave Grohl is one of the world’s most influential rock musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries. He was the drummer for the iconic 90s rock band Nirvana, started a one-man band called the Foo Fighters and turned it into a 12-time Grammy Award-winning phenomenon, co-founded the rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures, and will soon be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – for a second time. David Eric Grohl was born in Warren, Ohio on January 14, 1969, lived with his mother after his parents divorced, learned to play the guitar at age 12, taught himself to drum by listening to Rush, joined Nirvana, mourned the loss of his friend and bandmate Kurt Cobain, started his own band, got married, had three kids, became the third wealthiest drummer on the planet – behind only Ringo Starr and Phil Collins, and advocates around the world for LBGTQ rights. This short book tells the intensely human story of a man who is changing the world in a way that no one else can.
