Kurt Donald Cobain. Born February 20, 1967 - died April 5, 1994. Songwriter, musician and artist, best known as the vocalist and guitarist for the North American rock band Nirvana.
Kurt Donald Cobain was born on February 20, 1967 at Grays Harbor Hospital in Aberdeen, Washington, to housewife Wendy Elizabeth ( maiden name Fradenburg) and car mechanic Donald Leland Cobain. Cobain's pedigree included Irish, English, Scottish and German roots. Cobain's Irish ancestors migrated in 1875 from the county Northern Ireland Tiron to Cornwall, Ontario, Canada and then to Washington. Cobain has a family younger sister, Kimberly, born April 24, 1970.
Kurt grew up in musical family: his maternal uncle, Chuck Fradenburg, performed with the band under titled The Beachcombers, Aunt Mary Earle played guitar in various local bands, great-uncle Delbert made a career as a tenor and appeared in the 1930 film King of Jazz. He showed interest in music quite early: according to his relatives, already at the age of two he sang with pleasure songs Beatles. At the age of four, he wrote his first song about a trip to a local park. At the age of seven received from Mary Earl as a gift drum set. In addition to the ability to music, he showed himself as a talented little artist. In this he was encouraged by his grandmother, a professional artist.
For some time the boy lived with his mother, but he did not have a relationship with her new friend, 22-year-old Mike Medak, and he moved to his father in Montesano. Donald soon married Jenny Westby, who had two children, Mindy and James. In January 1979, Jenny gave birth to another child, Chad, stepbrother Kurt. But Kurt also did not get along with Jenny, and therefore he had to leave his father - the boy lived either with Leland and Iris, Donald's parents, or with relatives on his mother's side.
At the age of 14, Kurt gave up drumming and began learning to play the guitar given to him by his uncle Chuck for his birthday. Warren Mason, musician bands The Beachcombers, became his first teacher. Around the same time, Kurt became interested in punk after reading an article about the Sex Pistols in Creem magazine. It was almost impossible to buy their records in Aberdeen, so he had a rather vague idea of \u200b\u200bhow such music should sound (according to him own definition- “three chords and a lot of screaming”), but in his heart Kurt was already on fire with the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a punk band. Soon he met the members of the Aberdeen Melvins, who played music that combined elements of punk and hard rock (later this style was called "grunge"). Chris Novoselic also came there, as a result of which they became friends.
In 1984, Wendy Cobain married Pat O'Connor, an alcoholic dock worker who once broke Wendy's arm. Kurt returned to his mother's house, but his relationship with his family did not develop well. After leaving school, he decided not to go to art college; his mother put him before a choice - either he goes to work or leaves home. He had to leave. For most of the rest of the time, Kurt lived with his friends, moving from house to house every day. Often he had to sleep in the yards of friends' houses, the rest of the time he spent in the library, "waiting for the end of the day." According to Kurt, he lived for some time under the bridge of the Uishka River, which inspired him to write the song "Something in the Way". Later, he still had to get a job. On May 18, 1986, Kurt was arrested for trespassing and drinking alcohol and was imprisoned for 8 days.
In 1985, Kurt organized a group called Fecal matter; It consisted of bass guitarist Dale Crover, drummer Greg Hokanson and actually Cobain - vocalist and guitarist. About a year later, Fecal Matter broke up without releasing a single disc; after that, Kurt began to distribute the Fecal Matter demo among his acquaintances - he wanted to create new group. One of the cassettes went to Krist Novoselic, Kurt's friend. For a while, he seemed to forget about it, but a few months later he suddenly started a conversation with Cobain about the fact that they should start a rock band (he listened to the tape and liked the material). The newly formed team (which soon included a third member - drummer Chad Channing) changed several names: "Skid Row", "Ted Ed Fred", "Bliss", "Pen Cap Chew", but in the end "Nirvana" was chosen. "I was looking for a title that was pretty or nice," Cobain explained. In 1988, the band's first single, "Love Buzz/Big Cheese", was released, and the following year it went on sale. debut album Nirvana - Bleach.
In 1991, Nirvana's second album, Nevermind, was released, which became an unexpected breakthrough for the group into the mainstream. The single "Smells Like Teen Spirit", to everyone's surprise, became a hit on MTV (although "Lithium" was originally supposed to be the lead single from the record). sudden success Nirvana on the international stage brought the Seattle grunge scene to the attention of the public and spawned a wave of imitators. The media called Nirvana "the flagship of generation X", and Cobain himself - "the voice of the generation." Cobain himself experienced discomfort from the unexpected popularity that had fallen on his head: he himself saw himself primarily as a representative of the independent rock scene, and he was annoyed that he had become the idol of the masses. The band's next album, In Utero, was deliberately made much heavier and darker in order to scare off the general public and proclaim Nirvana's return to its "independent" roots (the album was produced by Steve Albini, leader of the noise rock band Big Black). However, the album, although it did not become as successful as Nevermind, was still popular with listeners and reached high positions in the charts.
Despite the fact that Nirvana was an "apolitical" group and did not pay of great importance social issues, as many punk bands did, Cobain nevertheless used his fame to get his ideas across to the public. He was an active advocate for the rights of women and gays and supported pro-choice (despite the fact that he personally admired motherhood and women mothers), as a result of which he received repeated threats from militant pro-lifers. The liner notes for the Incesticide compilation included the words: "If any of you hate homosexuals, people of a different race, or women for anything, please do us a favor - go fuck yourself and leave us alone! Don't come to our concerts and don't buy our albums."
Kurt Cobain and his future wife Courtney Love met in 1990 at a concert in a Portland club, where both performed with their bands. Courtney, who, according to her, saw Nirvana at a concert in 1989 and already drew attention to Cobain, immediately showed interest in him, but Kurt behaved evasively. He later explained: "I wanted to be single for another year, but I realized that I was really crazy about Courtney, and it was difficult to stay away from her for so many months." In 1991, after learning from Dave Grohl that Cobain had a keen interest in her, Courtney again began to "stalk" him. They began an affair. In 1992, Love discovered that she was expecting a child from Cobain, and on February 24, 1992, their marriage ceremony took place on a Hawaiian beach in Waikiki. Courtney was wearing a dress that once belonged to actress Frances Farmer, whom both newlyweds admired, and Kurt was dressed in pajamas - "because he was too lazy to put on a suit."
The daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Frances Bean Cobain, was born on August 18, 1992. She got her name from Frances McKee, the vocalist of Cobain's favorite Scottish twi-pop band The Vaselines. Shortly before the birth of the girl, it happened sadly famous interview Courtney with Vanity Fair's Lynn Hirshberg: In it, Courtney mentioned that she used heroin for some time during her pregnancy, not yet knowing that she would have a child. Hirshberg, however, made it look like Love continued to use drugs after she found out she was pregnant, and expressed her "concern" about what was happening. Courtney said that the journalist distorted her words, but she insisted that she had records. The Cobains did not immediately realize that because of this article, a huge stain falls on their reputation. Shortly after Frances was born, they had to face law enforcement- The Los Angeles Department of Children's Affairs filed a case against them to deprive spouses of parental rights, based on this publication. Litigation lasted several months, as a result, the Cobains were still allowed to raise their daughter on their own, but they were required to regularly undergo drug tests. Kurt was deeply offended by what was happening, believing that against him and his wife was real war, and compared himself with Frances Farmer, whom many considered the victim of a conspiracy (in 1942, the actress, who had visited the USSR a few years earlier and was suspected of communist sympathies, was forcibly hospitalized with manic-depressive psychosis and subjected to a lobotomy). The following year's album In Utero featured a number of scathing references to the Hirshberg article scandal and the "witch hunt" launched by the press against Courtney Love.
On April 8, 1994, an electrician named Gary Smith arrived at the Cobain home at 171 Lake Washington Blvd East in Seattle at 8:30 a.m. to install a security system. Smith rang the house several times, but no one answered the door. Then he noticed a Volvo car parked in the garage next to the house, and decided that the owners of the house, perhaps in the garage or greenhouse, which was located directly above the garage. Smith checked the garage, then climbed the stairs to the greenhouse. Through the glass door of the greenhouse, Smith noticed the body and assumed that someone was sleeping, however, looking closer, he saw blood at the left ear and a gun lying across the body. This is how Kurt Cobain was discovered. At 8:45 a.m., Gary Smith called the police and the local radio station. Kurt left a suicide note written in red pen.
The protocol of the inspection of the scene was drawn up formally, without an in-depth analysis of the details. According to one version of the investigation, Cobain injected himself with a dose of heroin that was incompatible with life, and shot himself in the head with a gun. Forensics also concluded that Kurt died on April 5 and his dead body lay in the house for three days. There is also speculation about the deliberate murder of Kurt. The list of suspects unofficially included Courtney Love.
After cremation, some of Cobain's ashes were scattered over the Wishka River in his native Aberdeen, and Courtney kept some for herself. An unofficial place of worship in memory of the singer is a memorial bench in Viretta Park, located near last home Cobain in Seattle. The greenhouse above the garage where Kurt's body was found was demolished in 1997 and the house sold.

On April 5, 2011, a monument to Kurt Cobain was unveiled in Aberdeen, Washington. The monument is an enlarged concrete copy of one of the musician's guitars, over which a bronze ribbon "flutters" with lines from the band's song "On a Plain". The opening was attended by Nirvana's first drummer Aaron Burkhard and Kurt's grandfather Leland Cobain, with whom Kurt had a very warm relationship.
The Kurt Cobain Museum has opened in Seattle, where his manuscripts, guitars, photographs, etc. were displayed.
On July 27, 2011, in Aberdeen, Washington, the City Council wanted to name a bridge after Cobain, but Aberdeen authorities refused to do so due to the fact that he showed hostility towards this city and its inhabitants.
In September 2013, the house Kurt Cobain grew up in was put up for sale. The object was previously valued at $67,000, but the musician's mother, Wendy O'Connor, set a price of $500,000 for it. The musician's relatives say they are ready to consider partnership proposals to make a museum in the house. According to them, stencilled names of his favorite bands are still on the walls in Kurt's room. “We decided to sell the house to create Kurt's legacy,” the musician's sister Kim Cobain told the agency. - Of course, we have mixed feelings, because we all loved this house very much, many wonderful memories are associated with it. But our family left Washington State a long time ago, and we feel it's time to leave home." The house was built in 1923. The Cobains bought him in 1969 when Kurt was two years old. He lived in this house until late adolescence: up to nine years - with both parents, and after their divorce - with their mother.

Since 1986, he sat heavily on heroin, tried to go through rehabilitation, but to no avail. In 1993, he suffered a severe heroin overdose.
I am not able to stop myself, - said Kurt Cobain, - drugs have become a part of my life and they do not interfere with me.

Kurt Cobain has joined the list of musicians and actors of the 27 Club, which is credited with young people who died at the age of 27.
Kurt Cobain also became a record holder among musicians. His records have earned hundreds of millions of dollars since his death.
How it really was
Cobain's name - "John Lennon of his generation," as he was called - also became synonymous with disillusionment and disappointment in life. He was a "poet of suffering." The whole world after his suicide wondered: why?
Cobain has long been a victim of psychiatric "help". Back in school, "experts in child psychology" diagnosed Cobain with "hyperactivity". Energetic, talented, creative child who loved to sing "Beatles", Cobain was among the children who in the 60s and 70s, under the guise of providing "learning aid", were stuffed with psychotropic drugs that form drug addiction. Cobain was the "child of Ritalin".
Ritalin is a substance similar in properties to amphetamines, which acts as a tranquilizer in children. This drug is on Schedule 2 of the UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances, along with opium, cocaine and morphine.
In Cobain, this drug caused insomnia. Accordingly, in order to neutralize this effect, he was prescribed sedatives. Despite claims by psychiatrists that stimulants help children learn, Cobain studied poorly and dropped out of school. After years of taking addictive drugs prescribed to him, Cobain easily switched to street drugs. Cobain's years-long struggle with heroin addiction was widely publicized as he constantly tried to end his addiction but couldn't.
The situation was complicated by advanced chronic diseases that haunted him all his life: the weight of an electric guitar hanging around his neck increased the curvature of the spine, and "burning in the stomach and nausea" often drove him to thoughts of committing suicide. Stomach pain is a side effect of Ritalin. Cobain used heroin to "put out the fire in his stomach."
Cobain's drug problems became critical. In desperation, his wife Courtney Love and several friends referred him to a psychiatric drug rehabilitation center. 36 hours after admission, Cobain escaped and in a small room above the garage, in a quiet suburb of Seattle, shot in the head with a pump-action shotgun, committed suicide.
In his suicide note, he mentions two things that forced him to make this decision: stomach pains that haunted him for years, and anguish musical creativity, which he described in these words: "My passion has cooled down." The chemistry dissolved the artist, the music stopped, and Kurt Cobain lost the meaning of life.
Rules of life
My name is Kurt I sing and play the guitar, but in general, I'm a walking and talking bacterial infection. I don't want to get too close to anyone. I don't want anyone to know how I feel and what I think. And if you are not able to understand what I will make of myself, listening to my music, well, alas.
Hope, that I won't turn into Pete Townshend. It's pretty funny at 40 to do what we do on stage now. That's why I want to quit my career before it's too late.
It's better to burn out than to fade.
I have a message for our fans. If for any reason you hate homosexuals, people of color and women, please do us a favor. Leave us alone your mother! Don't come to our concerts, don't buy our records.
I never didn't want fame or anything like that. It just so happened.
Until I was 9 years old, I was firmly convinced that I would become either a rock star, or an astronaut, or a president ..
All drugs- it's a waste of time. They destroy your memory, self-respect everything that has to do with self-love.
When I started taking heroin, I knew it would be as boring as smoking marijuana, but I couldn't stop, heroin became like air.
I love everyone - that's what's sad.
Life is what you build that your crossword puzzle.
I have always felt being an outcast, and that couldn't help but worry me. I could not understand why I did not want to communicate with my peers and classmates. Many years later, I understood why - I could not get along with them, primarily because they were indifferent to my work.
I'm tired of constantly pretending good guy just to get along with others and have friends. He wore a simple flannel shirt, chewed tobacco, and for many years became a reclusive monk in his little room. Over time, I even began to forget what normal communication with people is.
When I realized that I would not find a person like me, I simply stopped making friends with people.
I'm really glad that I have a lot of money. This gives me confidence. In addition, I know that my child will grow up in abundance and will always be provided. This makes me feel good.
I was looking for something heavier and at the same time quite melodic. Something that would be fundamentally different from heavy metal and would have a completely different attitude to the world.
Nobody dies virgin... Life has us all.
Kurt Donald Cobain (1965-1994) is one of the famous musicians XX century, founder, vocalist and guitarist legendary rock band Nirvana.
Childhood
The boy was born in 1965 in the small town of Aberdeen. His father was a mechanic. He was a car repairer. Mother periodically changed classes, worked as a teacher and a waitress. In general, it was the most ordinary, unremarkable family.
However, the same could not be said about the boy's immediate family. His uncle (mother's brother) was a member of The Beachcombers. My aunt was a talented touring guitarist. But greatest success achieved by his great-uncle. At one time he was a famous tenor.
Thanks to this environment, the boy's abilities did not go unnoticed. He was not yet three years old when he already listened to music with pleasure and performed songs by The Beatles. For a long time this British group remained his favorite. Later, he discovered many others that are legendary in our time.
Kurt grew up as a sociable and inquisitive boy. But everything changed when my parents divorced. He was only 9 years old, and the usual well-established life had already collapsed.
At first the boy stayed with his mother, but then he decided to live with his father. However new wife I didn't find the last one common language, so Kurt changed his place of residence again and began to wander around relatives.
The suicide of his beloved uncle was an even bigger blow for Cobain than the collapse own family. Many believe that it significantly influenced the fate of the musician himself.
After graduating from school, Kurt for a long time rushed about in search of his corner and work, until he ended up behind bars for drinking alcohol and illegal entry into private territory.
The birth of Nirvana
The first group created by Cobain in 1985 was called Fecal Matter. She existed less than a year, but became an important step on the ladder to fame. It was the recordings of Fecal Matter that attracted the attention of like-minded people to Kurt, who, together with him, founded a new group and gave it beautiful name Nirvana.
Already the first single, released in 1988, made it clear that future stars appeared in the world. The album Bleach was a huge success, the number of fans of the group began to increase in geometric progression.
The second album, Nevermind, was released in 1991. It was he who allowed the group to go to world stage. Nirvana was talked about on all continents, and the group's compositions topped the most prestigious charts. Kurt Cobain himself has become the idol of a whole generation who heard their own thoughts and ideas in his songs.
In 1993, Nirvana released the last studio album In Utero. With this collection, the team wanted to show that their music is not intended for the masses, but world fame, rather characteristic of pop culture, does not interest musicians. However, contrary to all plans, the album still went down in history.
Personal life
Despite the image created on stage, Cobain turned out to be loving husband and father. His acquaintance with Courtney Love led to an early marriage of the musicians. In 1992, their daughter was born. Her parents gave her the name Frances Bean.
Most Cobain fans never accepted Courtney. For them, she forever remained a woman who ruined the life of an idol, and then became the reason for his departure. Be that as it may, but Kurt loved his wife and doted on his little daughter. Most likely, their family would have lived happily ever after if not for drugs. And not predilection for them both parents.
According to the stories of Courtney herself, she repeatedly tried to deal with her husband's harmful addiction. However, many people close to them claim that she herself was far from white and not at all fluffy.
In March 1994, Kurt agreed to undergo another course of treatment for addiction, but his desire quickly dried up. On March 30, he entered a rehabilitation clinic, and escaped two days later.
Death
April 8, 1994 was a black day for all fans of the artist. Kurt Cobain was found dead in a greenhouse own house. By official version He died from a gunshot to the head. He shot himself, as the discovered suicide note.
