Kurt Cobain


Is it possible that somebody life’s would change music? Kurt Donald Cobain was the leader of one of the most important bands of Grunge, Nirvana. He was born on February 20,1967 in a small town close to Seattle. He lived with his mother, a cocktail waitress, and his father, a mechanic. Later, he moved to a depressing logging town. Cobain was considered during most of his childhood a sickly bronchi tic child. Situation worsened when his parents divorced when he was seven. He said that he would never feel love again and security.

Cobain began changing through time, life became more difficult for him. He became more antisocial, but he continued to follow his dream of having a band and being successful. He formed a series of bands before Nirvana came to be in 1986. Nirvana was a very simple alliance between Cobain, Krist Novoselic, bass player, and Dave Grohl. By 1988, Nirvana began making shows and completed their demo tapes. In 1989, they recorded their first album, Bleach, considered on of the best Grunge hits at that time.

“Smells like Teen Spirit” became Nirvana’s most highly acclaimed and instantly recognized song. However, Cobain felt always worried thinking that maybe his music was attracting the wrong kind of fans, the kids that always beat him up in high school. In February of 1992, Cobain went to Hawaii to marry Courtney Love. In that same year he released Insecticide another record of him. In early 1993 In Utero was released into the top spot on the music charts.


Cobain felt into heroin in the early 90`s; he said he used it as a shield against the rigorous demands of touring and to stop the pain of stomach ulcers. In August, Cobain had hospital treatment for heroin abuse. Shortly after Bean Cobain was born. Again on March 4, he was sent into a rush to a hospital in coma after an unsuccessful suicide when he took about fifty painkillers with champagne.

Cobain was a gun fanatic and always had sever5al in his possession. Some days later on the April 5, he barricaded himself into the granny flat behind his mansion, put a shotgun on his mouth and pull the trigger. Cobain`s body was found when an electricitian visiting the house to install a security system went round the back of the house. He though he saw a mannequin on the floor until he noticed a splotch of blood by Cobain`s ear. When the police break down the door, they found Cobain dead on the floor, a shotgun still pointed at his chin, and nearby a suicide note written in red ink addressed to his wife and his daughter Frances Bean. He became not only for me but also for the whole world one of the best singers and the leader of a new genre, Grunge.
