Description: Band members Dave Grohl and Krist Novocelic arrived promptly at 11:00 a.m., when the shoot was to begin, but lead singer Kurt Cobain was a nowhere to be found. Three hours later, Cobain showed up in a pair of large, white Jackie O sunglasses. In a whisper, he asked for a bucket.His shoot effectively over, Frohman called the magazine and expressed his frustration with the whole experience. He was also trying to manage expectations; he thought the session was a total bust.It was only after he got the contact sheets of the shoot back from the photo lab that he realized he'd captured some amazing moments - some of Cobain's last.Frohman's insightful portrait of an idol transcends the nature of celebrity photography. The pictures are as humanizing as they are glorifying. Cobain appears as a goofily provocative iconoclast, while revealing a more depressing side of the life of a great artist dependent on drugs. These photographs, captured not long before the time of his death, provide a fascinating insight into the end of the life of a rock star.Signed letter of authenticity by Jesse Frohman
