Dave Grohl Memoir ‘The Storyteller’ Coming out October 5

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.”

Heritage Commission Registers 3,202 New Sites to National Urban Heritage Register

The Heritage Commission has announced the registration of 3,202 new sites in the National Urban Heritage Register, bringing the total number of registered sites to 28,202, reflecting the richness of Saudi heritage, as part of its efforts to document and protect heritage sites.
The newly registered heritage sites included 16 in Riyadh, 8 in Makkah, 1 in Qassim, 2 in the Eastern Region, 3170 in Aseer, 2 in the Hail region, 1 in Najran, and 2 in Al-Baha, according to SPA.
This registration was based on the Antiquities, Museums, and Urban Heritage Law and the decision of the Heritage Commission's Board of Directors, which authorized its CEO to register heritage and archaeological sites to protect their historical and cultural value.
The Heritage Commission urged citizens and residents to report heritage sites that may not yet be registered within the framework of enhancing cooperation with the community through the Balagh platform, its official social media accounts, and its branches spread in all regions of the Kingdom, as a means of facilitating everyone's contribution to this national work.
