Kurt Cobain, Rock Musician / Guitarist
Born: 20 February 1967 Birthplace: Hoquiam, Washington
Death: 5 April 1994 (suicide by shotgun)
Best Known As: Leader of the group Nirvana Kurt Cobain was the lead singer and guitarist for the band Nirvana, whose melodic rock songs bridged punk with pop and sold millions of records in the early 1990s.
The stripped-down, amped-up anthem "Smells Like Teen Spirit" made it to the top of the charts in 1991 and helped "grunge" rock unseat Michael Jackson-style pop. (It also helped put Seattle on the musical map -- Cobain was from the nearby logging town of Aberdeen, Washington.) The band's albums included Bleach (1989), Nevermind (1991) and In Utero (1993). Nirvana was briefly the hottest band in the world, but Cobain's discomfort with fame, personal demons and battles with drugs quickly caused problems. His status as rock legend was cemented when he committed suicide in 1994, apparently by shooting himself in the mouth with a shotgun.
Cobain married rocker/actress Courtney Love in 1992... The couple had one daughter, Frances Bean, born in 1992... Some fans continue to believe that Cobain was murdered. Though a suicide note was found near Cobain's body, and though the coroner ruled that Cobain's wounds were self-inflicted, these fans feel the suicide was staged, and some also accuse Courtney Love of being involved. This theory has been widely publicized but has never been proved... A 1998 documentary film, Kurt and Courtney, examined their relationship and Cobain's death.
BIOGRAPHY
Kurt Donald Cobain was born in Grays Harbor Community Hospital, Aberdeen, near Seattle in Washington on 20 February 1967.
His parents divorced in 1976 and in 1979 his father, Don petitioned the Superior Court for custody of Kurt, who ended up staying with various relatives.
In 1983 Kurt Cobain met Chris Novoselic and went around Aberdeen grafitti-ing.
In May 1985 Cobain dropped out of Aberdeen High School and tried heroin for the first time. In 1987 Cobain, Novoselic and Aaron Burckhard form various groups and finally settle down as Nirvana, which is to become the main catalyst of the 'grunge scene'.
A year later, Dale Crover replaced Burckhard as drummer and this role in Nirvana would go through a number of changes.
Burkhard comes and goes again and is eventually replaced by Chad Channing. In November 1988 Nirvana released their first single. "Love Buzz/Big Cheese". "Bleach" their debut album was released in June 1989.
In 1991 Nirvana left Sub-Pop and signed for Geffen. "Nevermind" was released and became a landmark record and in January 1992 it reached Number One. A month later Kurt Cobain married Courtney Love on 24 February.
In 1993 "In Utero" was released, but Cobain was going through well-documented difficulties. In May 1993 he was admitted to hospital in Seattle having had a heroin overdose.
In March 1994 Kurt Cobain overdosed again - on champagne and tablets in what was thought to be a suicide attempt.
On 5 April Cobain killed himself. An admission here: I have a book called "Who Killed Kurt Cobain?" by Halperin and Wallace - but I have not yet read it. According to the 'blurb' "this investigation... offers compelling and credible reasons for reopening this 'suicide case' - so that fans will know how their hero really died." Obviously it would be irresponsible to comment on the validity of these claims not having read the book, but why do 'blurbs' have to use such crass phrases to market books about the loss of someone's life?
