VIRGINIA HANLON GROHL Introduction by DAVE GROHL


From Cradle to Stage Stories from the Mothers Who Rocked and Raised Rock Stars


Exclusive stories and photos featuring the mothers of rock icons and the icons themselves, revealing the lives behind the music


alongside family anecdotes from fellow “rock moms.” In exclusive interviews with the mothers of Michael Stipe, Adam Levine, Amy Winehouse, Miranda Lambert, Kelly Clarkson, and other music stars, Grohl asked the questions only a mother could answer: Did you worry about your child aspiring to work in an industry fraught with drugs and other dangers? Did you encourage your child’s passions despite the odds against success? Do you remind your kid to pack a warm coat when he leaves on tour? These answers—along with never-before-seen family photographs and a heartwarming introduction by Dave Grohl—make From Cradle to Stage the ultimate insider look at the realmaking of a rock star.
