Dave Grohl has opened up about his traumatic experience of knowing Kurt’s death

Dave Grohl has lamented his pain-stricken experience regarding the death of Kurt Cobain. The artist said that he came to know about the news a month before the Nirvana’s frontman’s death by suicide.

The artist has recently released a memoir named, ‘The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music,’. In the memoir, the artist has revealed that he has received a phone call that informed him about Kurt’s apparent death in March 1994.

The artist wrote, “I dropped the phone as I fell to my bedroom floor, covering my face with my hands as I began to cry.”

The trauma was evident as Dave said “He was gone!”. He continued, “The shy young man who had offered me an apple upon our first introduction at the Seattle airport was gone. My quiet, introverted roommate who I’d shared a tiny little apartment in Olympia was gone.”

He described Kurt as the “loving father who played with his beautiful baby daughter backstage every night before each show.”

It all happened a month before Kurt’s death when he was still alive. Grohl, later on, received a second phone call that confirmed that Cobain was alright.

He expressed “In the course of five minutes I had gone from the darkest day of my entire life to feeling born again. From that day forward, I built my walls higher.”

Unfortunately, within a month Kurt killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot on his head. Except for this time, Dave did not receive any second call.

He wrote in the memoir that ‘’This time it was for real. He was gone’’. He further added “There was no second phone call to right the wrong. To turn the tragedy around. It was final.”

Dave further added, “It was stuck somewhere deep within me, blocked by the trauma from a month before when I had been left in a state of conflicted emotional confusion.”

Kurt Cobain was only 27 years old when he left everyone and Foo Fighter’s lead singer and guitarist Dave Grohl is still recovering from it.

The artist still feels his reminiscences as he wrote, “It’s not often that I play the songs that we played together, but when I sit on that stool, I can still picture him in front of me, wrestling with his guitar as he screamed his lungs raw into the microphone.”
