Former Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson is writing a tell all book about the life and times of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
In a recent interview with Fuse, Erlandson says Cobain was actually working on a solo album right before his suicide.

"[Kurt] was heading in a direction that was really cool. It would have been his 'White Album' Erlandson said refering to the Beatles album. "That's really what he was going towards, a solo album but working with different people.
"I was really excited about some of the stuff he was working on. I got to see him play it in front of me. That's why I was really sad [when he died]. I was like, 'Oh man, not only are you cutting off a life, but a message to the world, a musical path is just left with... Bush and all this other stuff [laughs]. He was cut short. Who knows where the music would have gone."
Erlandson says he hopes a collection of demos will get released to the fans at some point. "I heard some talk about somebody putting together some raw, rough acoustic thing... and that would be more intimate than the box set [2004's 'With the Lights Out'] because all those little jams you have to throw out [for the box set release]." he said.
They presented some [of the demos] but there is stuff that has not been put out... I'm not in control of things. I just wish something would come together. I think the fans would be a lot happier. If nobody ever hears those songs, except for like three people, then... that's the way it goes."
