The singer has been an integral part of the music industry as he managed to shape the world with his music. While he passed away at the age of 27, Kurt managed to change people's lives in many ways.
Till date, people listen to his music and appreciate his talent. There is no doubt that he had achieved a lot at such a young age.
A Look at Kurt Cobain's Daughter
Kurt and Courtney's daughter Frances Bean Cobain has been away from social media for some time now. However, whenever he was interviewed, he did not hesitate to talk about his father.
When Kurt died, she was only 18 months old. However, he has heard a lot about his father from everyone around him. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Kourtney admitted that she didn't like Nirvana.
She said: "Really Nirvana doesn't like [smiles] that much. Sorry, evangelists, Universal. I'm more into Mercury Rave, Oasis, the Brian Jonestown massacre [laughs]. The grunge scene isn't what I'm interested in But "Territorial Pissing" [On Nevermind] is a f**king great song. And "Dumb" [On In Utero]—I cry every time I hear that song. It's a different take on Kurt's own perception There is a different version of myself - feeling inadequate to title the voice of a generation, off drugs, on drugs."
While Francis couldn't spend much time with Kurt, she still cherishes the songs she left behind.
Kurt Cobain marries Courtney Love
According to Far Out Magazine, Kurt and Courtney began dating in 1991. After dating for a year, the pair got married in 1992. This was also the time when Kourtney learned that she was pregnant with their first child.
A few months after the wedding, Frances was born. Their relationship was going through a period of ups and downs for a long time and their fans were aware of this.
Since the two had a public romance, it was difficult to keep anything under the blanket. The two were married until Kurt's death in 1994.
Battle with Kurt Cobain's Addiction
Kurt and Courtney had been vocal about their drug use. In fact, many of Kurt's songs feature the same description. In 1993, while the singer was preparing for his New York concert, he took a heroin overdose. This was not the first time this had happened.
Luckily, Kourtney was quick and revived herself with naloxone. Again, in 1994, when Kurt was in Rome, he used a combination of Rohypnol and Champagne.
While Kurt later said that this was a mistake, Courtney had stated that it may have been his first suicide attempt. In April 1994, Kurt committed suicide and three days later his body was found.
