Kurt Donald Cobain was born February 20th 1967 in Aberdeen, which is located Southwest of Seattle in the state of Washington.
Kurt had a happy child-hood until the age of 7, when his parents got a divorce. He was very upset about it and became very shy and difficult to cope with. Through the years he moved back and forth to his parents but in the end, his parents wanted nothing to do with him, so Kurt had to move in with some relatives.This period of his life is also reflected in some of his lyrics.
For Kurts 14th b-day he bought his first guitar. He tried to create his own musical style. Kurt started hanging out in the Seattle Underground, where he was a roadie for a band called Melvins.
In May of 85, a few weeks before graduation, Kurt dropped out of school. He had a few a jobs, but he could never hold a job for that long.
Nirvana was started in 1986. They made there first demo in 1988 and it didnt take long for their first single to be released. That next year they relesed their first album, Bleach. They then started to tour in the US.
Kurt had never expected to be so popular and did not even like the idea of being a main stream rocker. He hated the commercial part of Nirvana and had several times encouraged the audience to stop buying their records and to stop coming to their concerts.Kurt also started to use heavy drugs more often in this period, such as heroin (yeah buddy) and morphine. At this point Kurt described himself as suicidal.
January 24th 1992, Kurt got married to Courtney Love. Six months later they had a child, Frances Bean.
Kurt was on a seminar in July 1993 when he overdosed on heroin. Courtney injected him with an illegal drug to save him. Later that same day he went on stage and played a concert, no one noticed anything. Kurt’s drug abuse was starting to get out of hand. He agreed to get treatment for his abuse, but didn’t last long at the rehab centre. He later escaped from this centre although it was voluntary. He said this was a place for retards or something. It wasn’t a proper place for him to be.
They played what was to be there last concert March 29th. One week later Kurt was hospitalized in a coma where he OD'd on Rohipnole. (i dunno how to spell it). After a few days he left the hospital on his own will. Kurt is reported missing after this by his wife who fears he might show up dead.
April 8th 1994 Kurt was found dead in his house. Of what appeared to be a shotgun blast to the head. A few days after he was found Courntey held a Memorial for him where she read part of his suicide note. Kurt had said earlier the same year he didnt plan on making it till he was 30. Unfortuanatly he was right. He became a rock legend, never to be forgotten.
Kurt Cobain was a very awesome person. No-one knew what he was going through. But you kan imagine the stress he was dealing with. Having to live each day, waking up and wishing u were dead. Having nothing else to live for.
R.I.P Kurt
