Kurt Cobain was just 27 years of age when he passed away, but he managed to cram a great deal of life and profession into those days.
Born on February 20, 1967 in Aberdeen, Washington, Cobain grew up poor and showed an early interest in painting (some thing he carried on to complete all through his life). His interest in music emerged afterwards, when his uncle purchased him a guitar for his 14th birthday. It was then that he became considering punk rock and the expanding music scenes happening in both Seattle and Olympia.
Cobain never ever completed high school (he dropped out a couple of weeks before the end of his senior when he noticed he'd be a few credits short of graduation), but by then he had already met long term Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic. By the mid-'80s, the pair began spending time with proto-grunge bands the Melvins, Tad and Mudhoney. With a rotating cast of drummers, Nirvana began touring and ultimately join enough momentum to record Bleach for Seattle's Sub Pop Records in 1989.
The band's fame increased continuously, but Cobain's life remained problematic. He suffered from chronic stomach pain and had scoliosis, which frequently produced his back sore. Though he contacted a handful of doctors, Cobain found that the only thing that produced him really feel any better was self-medication. As the writings in Journals proved, he was also often depressed.
The band's profile continued to rise, as they gained a reputation as a blistering live act. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was an MTV staple by 1992, which forced the group's second album Nevermind to the top of the charts. Cobain choose to go from crashing in other people's basements (his mother threw him out of the house when he dropped out of school) to being probably the most recognizable well known rock superstars in the globe inside a few short years.
But the issues continued. Although Cobain kicked heroin (which had become a full-fledged addiction) in 1992 when he found that wife Courtney Love was expecting, the rigors from the road proved to be too much for him, and he ended up back on the drug. His behavior became increasingly more unreliable (he famously fell asleep several occasions while on heroin during a photo shoot around the band's appearance on "Saturday Night Live" in the fall of 1992).
Cobain tried to cleanup multiple occasions, but his volitile manner continued through 1993 (when the band's abrasive 3rd album In Utero was cut and released), and by the beginning of 1994 issues had reached a fever pitch. Even though on tour in Europe in March of '94, Cobain overdosed on a mixture of champagne and Rohypnol. Following getting his stomach pumped, Cobain returned to Seattle with wife Love. She staged an intervention for him a few weeks later, which ended with Cobain agreeing to get into a rehabilitation plan in Los Angeles.
However a couple of days following checking in, Cobain hopped the wall from the Exodus Recovery Center and caught an airplane returning to Seattle, where people lost track of him for a couple of days - actually, Love hired a private detective to trace him down (at the time, she was on tour with Hole, who had been preparing for the release of Live Through This). He was lastly discovered dead on April eight by an electrician who had arrive at his home to install a security system. Cobain left behind a suicide note, the shotgun he used to kill himself and a bevy of concerns about his drug issues and psychological health.
