The former Nirvana drummer explained: 'This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting the day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as a young musician. 'The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the KISS posters on my wall as a child.'ĭave, 52, hopes to 'shed a little light' on the experience of living his dream by becoming a musician.

'Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ('It's a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!'), I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The Foo Fighters frontman will share a 'collection of memories of a life lived loud' in the book – which follows the launch of his Dave's True Stories Instagram account last year – set for release on October 5.

Dave Grohl will share 'tales of life and music' in his new book 'The Storyteller'.
