| NFC News New Dave Grohl biography to be published this year | |
 A Dave Grohl biography, tentatively entitled The Dave Grohl Story, is set to be published later this year. Author Jeff Apter recently finished the 424-page book which will be published by Omnibuss Press for a possible August 7 release (according to amazon.com).Jeff spoke with Dave Grohl while he was working for the Australian Rolling Stone and he's also spoken with dozens of people who have moved in and out of Grohl's life over the past 30 years. "I've even tracked down Larry Hinkle, Grohl's first songwriting partner from his high school days in Virginia, as well as other bandmates, friends, producers, video makers, housemates, etc. I think it'll make for an interesting read – it may even surprise a few hardcore fans", Jeff tells the NFC exclusively. As mentioned earlier, Jeff has interviewed the band and Dave while working for Australian Rolling Stone, and Dave's management helped with the book also. Jeff Apter has previously written books on The Cure and Red Hot Chili Peppers. In other Grohl news: The Foo Fighters will play a show at London's Hyde Park on June 17 this year. The show will be supported by Grohl's heroes Mötörhead (additional guests TBA). Go to www.foofighters.com for details on how to get tickets. | |
