    biography by Charles R. Cross

    For the Blacklisted album, see Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God.

    Heavier Than Heaven is a biography of musician Kurt Cobain, the frontman of the grunge band Nirvana. It was written by Charles R. Cross.

    For the book, Cross desired to create the definitive Cobain biography, and over four years conducted + interviews; in particular, he was granted exclusive interviews and access to Cobain's private journals, lyrics and photos, by his widow Courtney Love.[1] Notably, neither Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl nor Cobain's mother contributed to the book.[2]

    Cross took the name "Heavier Than Heaven" from a tour Nirvana did with the band Tad in the United Kingdom.

    The lead singer, Tad Doyle, was very obese; the name which was thought up by the tour promoters, was meant in part to poke fun at the inaccurate idea that Tad alone weighed more than all of the members of Nirvana put together.

    Reception

    While arguably the most complete Cobain biography, Cross opted to include his own impression of what Cobain's final days were like. Several people questioned the inclusion of fiction in what was claimed to be a non-fiction book.[3] At the same time, Cross' desire for the book to be as complete as possible meant that he occasionally accepted secondhand (and incorrect) information as fact.[4] The book was criticized as being a collaboration between Love and Cross by friends.

    Cross also did not interview Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. However, beyond the criticism, the book contained many details about Cobain and Nirvana's career that had otherwise gone unnoted.

      One of the most enduring myths of Kurt Cobain's life depicts the singer as a high-school dropout, kicked out of his home, sleeping under a bridge by the fetid Wishkah River in Aberdeen, Washington. The image is a tremendously potent, concise expression of the rejection, alienation, and sadness that infused Cobain's songs and ultimately consumed his life. It's also a lie—or, to put it charitably, a poetic embellishment. Cobain was definitely homeless for a stretch in his late teens, and he may have slept under a bridge, but it couldn't have been the fabled Young Street Bridge, which the rising tides rendered inhospitable. Charles Cross' levelheaded, scrupulously researched biography, Heavier Than Heaven , sets the record straight on this and other tall tales about Cobain, many of them spun for the sake of colorful press by the man himself.
