It's not exactly a biography of a rock star, but it's in a similar vein -- the book by Debbie Spungen's mother, And I Don't Want To Live This Life. Amazing read. I'd also include in not-autobiography, but close enough, Touching From a Distance by Deborah Curtis, the wife of Ian Curtis.
The Heroin Diaries, as mentioned earlier, is awesome, and I also liked Keith Richard's memoir, and everything by Willie Nelson!
Oh, and Kurt's journals, of course.

I will do my best to re-up links ASAP, but it might take a moment (health issues). I'm really sorry for this!
