Kurt Cobain

Kurt Donald Cobain Born Aberdeen, Washington, February 20, 1967 - Died aged 27 Seattle, Washington, April 5, 1994, was an American musician and artist, best known as the lead singer, guitarist and primary songwriter of the grunge band Nirvana.


During the last years of his life, Cobain struggled with heroin addiction, illness and depression. He also had difficulty coping with his fame and public image, and the professional and lifelong personal pressures surrounding himself and his wife, musician Courtney Love. On April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle, the victim of what was officially ruled a suicide by a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. The circumstances of his death at age 27 have become a topic of public fascination and debate. Since their debut, Nirvana, with Cobain as a songwriter, has sold over 25 million albums in the U.S., and over 50 million worldwide.
