Lead vocalist Kurt Cobain became a rock superstar overnight, while the album Nevermind would sell over 10 million copies. Michael Azerrad is an American author, music journalist, editor, and musician. A graduate of Columbia University, he has written for publications such as Spin, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times. His Nirvana biography Come As You Are has been named one of the greatest books in rock history.
