Renowned rock journalist Michael Azerrad has announced a new "amplified" edition of the 1993 Nirvana biography, "Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana."
"The Amplified Come As You Are: The Story Of Nirvana" will be published by Harper Collins on October 24.
"Nirvana: The Amplifications," an official audiobook narrated by Azerrad collecting the new annotations, will also be released along with the book at leading audiobook platforms.
The 30th-anniversary deluxe edition of the iconic bestselling biography of Nirvana is updated with exclusive new content exploring the personal and cultural forces that inspired the music, the author's friendship with Kurt Cobain and why multiple generations remain fascinated by the 1990s.
"Just tell the truth. That'll be better than anything else that's been written about me," Nirvana frontman Cobain told author Azerrad at the time of writing the original Nirvana biography.
Seven months after the book's publication, Cobain was dead by suicide.
The new hardcover version, featuring 100 photos and hundreds of extensive new essay-like annotations, deepen the readers' understanding of the legendary band and the time in which it existed, the publisher wrote in its synopsis.
The book is available to pre-order at https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-amplified-come-as-you-are-michael-azerrad?variant=41003861966882
