Mike McCready Unveils Farewell To Seasons, a Graphic Novel and ‘Lost’ Rock Opera, Set for October Release

The collaboration reimagines Seattle’s grunge era as historical fantasy, with collector editions offering exclusive vinyl.

Overview

  • Preorders are live via Z2, with a wide release scheduled for Oct. 7, 2026, though some listings cite Oct. 6.
  • Co-created with writer Mark Sable and artist Sebastián Piriz, the narrative follows fictional musician David Williams in an alternate-history Seattle that blends magical realism with reflections on the era’s cost.
  • Deluxe and Platinum packages include the original soundtrack on exclusive vinyl, featuring Rain City yellow and translucent Elliot Bay green variants alongside collectibles.
  • McCready sings lead on an overture and six new songs, with contributions reported from Duff McKagan, Stefan Lessard and drummer Mike Musburger, plus backing vocals by Molly Sides.
  • Developed over two decades and shaped during COVID after guidance from Cameron Crowe, the project began as a stage musical, and streaming or live production plans for the music have not been announced.
