Kurt Cobain
Kurt Douglas Cobain 1967-1994



Kurt Cobain was born in 1967. He was the well-known front man for the band Nirvana. He was considered an outsider by most of the kids his age, and frequently dubbed a "faggot" with his friend Chris Novoselic, who would be his future bassist.

Nirvana was formed in 1987 with Kurt Cobain, Chris Novoselic, Chad Channing and Dale Crover. The band's first album, Bleach, did not sell very well, but their second album, Nevermind, went platinum.

Kurt had a rare stomach condition which caused him to be in pain all of the time. He began taking Heroin to ease the pain and became.

In 1994, his wife, Hole singer/guitarist Courtney Love found him dead in the attic of their home. He put a shotgun up to his mouth and pulled the trigger. Three times the lethal dose of heroin was also found in his system. Many to this day blame Courtney for his death but there is no conclusive evidence to support that theory. Kurt was 27.
