Some unexpected free time in 2020 led Grammy winner Dave Grohl to put some thoughts and memories into words.

Grohl’s memoir “The Storyteller” will come out Oct. 5, Dey Street Books announced Tuesday.

The 52-year-old Grohl will reflect on everything from his childhood to his years with Nirvana and Foo Fighters to times spent with Paul McCartney, David Bowie and many others.

Grohl’s book grew out of an essay he published in The Atlantic and out of anecdotes he shared on his Instagram account.

“I soon found that the reward I felt every time I posted a story was the same as the feeling I get when playing a song to an audience, so I kept on writing,” Grohl said in a statement.

“The response from readers was a soul-filling as any applause in an arena. So, I took stock of all the experiences I’ve had in my life-incredible, difficult, funny and emotional-and decided it was time to finally put them into words.”

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, in cooperation with the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque, and the Pilgrim Experience Program, organized the Two Holy Mosques and Nusuk Exhibition in London.

The event coincided with the official visit of Minister of Hajj and Umrah Dr. Tawfig Al-Rabiah to the United Kingdom.

The exhibition highlighted the development of the two holy mosques over more than a century, emphasizing the Kingdom's significant service to pilgrims through expansion projects and pioneering digital platforms like Nusuk. The Nusuk platform streamlines Hajj and Umrah procedures with advanced technology in over 20 languages.

During discussions with Islamic leaders in the UK, Al-Rabiah emphasized the importance of deeper cooperation to facilitate the arrival of pilgrims to Saudi Arabia and to support Hajj and Umrah awareness initiatives. He also highlighted how the Kingdom's digital transformation is elevating the quality of services for pilgrims.

Widely praised by participants and visitors, the exhibition underscored the Kingdom's continuous efforts to develop the Hajj and Umrah system, a key aspect of Saudi Vision 2030's aim to provide integrated services rooted in innovation and excellence.
