Kurt Donald Cobain was born in
1967 in Aberdeen, Washington. He was an American musician and artist, best
known as the lead singer, guitarist and primary songwriter of the grunge band
Nirvana. Cobain formed Nirvana with Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington, in
1985 and established it as part of the Seattle music scene. Cobain's family had
a musical background. When Cobain was seven years old, his parents divorced.
Later in his life, he said the divorce had a profound effect on his life. His
mother noted that his personality changed dramatically; Cobain became defiant
and withdrawn. In a 1993 interview, he elaborated:
"I remember feeling ashamed, for some reason. I was ashamed of my parents. I couldn't face some of my friends at school anymore, because I desperately wanted to have the classic, you know, typical family. Mother, father. I wanted that security, so I resented my parents for quite a few years because of that. After signing with major label DGC Records, the band found breakthrough success with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from its second album Nevermind (1991). Following the success of Nevermind, Nirvana was labeled "the flagship band" of Generation X, and Cobain hailed as "the spokesman of a generation". Cobain, however, was often uncomfortable and frustrated, believing his message and artistic vision to have been misinterpreted by the public, with his personal issues often subject to media attention. He challenged Nirvana's audience with its final studio album In Utero (1993).

During the last years of his life, Cobain struggled with heroin addiction, illness and depression. He also had difficulty coping with his fame and public image, and the professional and lifelong personal pressures surrounding himself and his wife, musician Courtney Love. Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain met in 1990. Courtney Love first saw Cobain perform in 1989 at a show in Portland, Oregon; they talked briefly after the show and Love developed a crush on him. On August 18, 1992, the couple's daughter Frances Bean Cobain was born. In 1992 Love admitted to using heroin, not knowing that she was pregnant. While Cobain and Love's romance had always been a media attraction, they found themselves hounded by tabloid reporters after the article was published, many wanting to know if Frances was addicted to drugs at birth. The Los Angeles County Department of Children's Services took the Cobains to court, claiming that the couple's drug usage made them unfit parents.Two-week-old Frances was ordered by the judge to be taken from their custody and placed with Courtney's sister Jamie for several weeks.
Throughout most of his life, Cobain suffered from chronic bronchitis and intense physical pain due to an undiagnosed chronic stomach condition. His first drug experience was with marijuana in 1980, at age 13. He regularly used the drug during adulthood. Cobain was also prone to alcoholism.
Cobain has been remembered as one of the most iconic rock musicians in the history of alternative music. In 2003, David Fricke of Rolling Stone ranked him the 12th greatest guitarist of all time.He was later ranked the 73rd greatest guitarist and 45th greatest singer of all time by the same magazine.

On April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle, the victim of what was officially ruled a suicide by a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. The circumstances of his death at age 27 have become a topic of public fascination and debate. Since their debut, Nirvana, with Cobain as a songwriter, has sold over 25 million albums in the US, and over 75 million worldwide. Kurt Cobain was someone different for all rock lovers, and he is still in everybodies heart. During his life he wanted to attract people to his unordinary notes.
