HIS CHILDHOOD
Kurt Donald Cobain was born on February 20,
         1967, at Grays Harbor Hospital in
   Aberdeen , Washington . he lived the first
    6 months in Hoquiam , until his family
       returned Aberdeen . His father was
     Donald Lenald Wendy Cobain and his
  mother Elizabeth Fradenburg. It also had a
  younger sister, Kimberly, born on April 24,

          his aunt sang Beatles songs as
         "Hey Jude."His parents, Cobain's
    life changed dramatically after 9 years
        because of their divorce. In a 1993
       interview, Cobain said, "I remember
    feeling sorry and sad for my parents. I
   was ashamed to compare myself with my
    friends from school, because I longed to
  belong to such traditional family, a typical
   family. Mother, father ... I wanted that
  security. I hated my parents for years for
   that reason. "After a year living with his
   mother after the divorce Cobain moved to
        Montesano to live with her father
MUSICAL
INFLUENCES
Cobain was a devoted follower of the
 first alternative rock artists. Hereferred
    to their favorite bands in interviews,
  giving even greater importance to the
     bands that influenced him than his
 own music. In interviews Cobain talked
 about relatively obscure performers for
  the general public, like The Vaselines,
        The Melvins, Daniel Johnston,
   Meat Puppets, Young Marble Giants,
        King Crimson, Wipers and The
Raincoats. Additionally, Cobain was able
    to convince record companies to re-
launch records of The Raincoats (Geffen)
and TheVaselines (Sub Pop). Cobain also
      talked about the influence of the
       Pixies, and commented on the
   similarities of the music of that band
       and Smells Like Teen Spirit .His
    favourite gropue was ¨The Beatles¨
HIS FAMILY
•   Courtney Love Cobain was playing
             for the first time in
             1990.According to
        journalist Everett True, the
    couple was formally presented in
                  a concert
       of L7 and Butthole Surfers in
             Los Angeles in May
               1991. (Several
     biographies mention the date of
     the meeting in 1989 in Portland
         (Oregon), but True insists
            that 1991 is a more
        accurate date, and notes as
           evidence an interview
       with Cobain and Love in 1992
    with Sassy magazine in which the
       couple said they had met at a
    concert of L7 and Butthole Surfer
    s). In  the following weeks, after
           learning from Grohl's
                hand she and
      Cobain sharedmutual feelings,
                 Love began
    to look frequently. After weeks of
     meetings and talks in the fall of
      1991, both were seen together
      more often. Around the time of
         submission of Nirvana on
         Saturday Night Live (early
      1992) Love discovered she was
      pregnant. A few days after the
     end of the Nirvana tour through
     the Pacific on Monday, February
      24, 1992, Cobain married Love
      on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. On
    August 18 the first born and only
NIRVANA
Cobain received his first guitar at the age of 14. Her uncle got Rosevear at the Music Center in
        Aberdeen, choosing the instrument rather than a bicycle. Since then Cobain tried to
        form bands with friends, singing songs of AC / DC and Led Zeppelin. In high school,
    however, Cobain had frequent problems finding someone to play with, because none of his
      friends had any particular musical talent.Subsequently, Cobain met Krist Novoselic, a
         faithful devotee ofpunk rock, who lived across the Young Street bridge. Novoselic's
    mother owned a beauty salon (Maria's Hair Design), so they could practice on the second
     floor of the building occasionally. A few years after Cobain tried to convince Novoselic to
                             form a band with him, and lent him a copy of
       a home demo (entitled "Illiteracy WillPrevail") recorded by one of the first bands that
      formed Cobain,Fecal Matter. After months of thinking, Novoselic agreed to joinCobain,
                                 which laid the foundation of Nirvana.
                                        In the early years as a
         group, Novoselic and Cobain to rotatefrequently touched them drummers. Finally,
     Chad Channing joined the band, which recorded Bleach, released on Sub Pop Records in
   1989. Cobain, however, was dissatisfied with Channing's style, and the band replaced him
       with Dave Grohl. Along with Grohl, the bandfound success with their debut album on
              a major label, Nevermind(1991). Then in 1993, came the album In Utero.
           Cobain had a lot of trouble adjusting to the massive success of Nirvana with his

                                  strong roots underground
ADICTION WITH THE DRUGS
 During his life, Kurt battled depression, chronic bronchitis and against intense physical
    pain due to a chronic stomach condition was never diagnosed, which for years sought
   the cause and affect him emotionally. None of the doctors he consulted were able to
      find the specific cause, although he said he could be the result of a scoliosis that
    Cobain suffered in his childhood, or was related to the stress of touring and events
       that the band attended. Cobain self-medicated with heroin, although his medical
                  condition was not the main reason that caused the drug use.
   Cobain had his first contact with drugs in late 1990, usually to fight his hyperactivity,
   he was treated with strong sedative and as a child.For some months Cobain's drug use
   casually, but it was not long before it became an addiction. In late 1991 its use began
      affecting the band's tour in promotion of Nevermind, and saw Cobain passing out
      during photo shoots. For example, the day of submission of the band on Saturday
      Night Live, where Nirvana had a session with photographer Michael Levine, Cobain
      (who had used heroin a few hours before) was staggered several times during the
      session. On this, Cobain biographer Michael told him to Azerrad, "I say: What can
     they do? They could not tell me to stop.So I do not care. Obviously they thought it
        was something like practicing witchcraft. They knew well my problem, and even
                             thought at one time was going to die. "
      Addiction to heroin Kurt increased over time. In early 1992, shortly after he and
          Courtney discovered that they were going to be parents, decided to enter
       rehab. After leaving, Nirvana embarked on a tour of Japan and Australia, where
   Cobain was pale and suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Shortly after returning to
                              America, Kurt's addiction resurfaced.
  Before a performance at the New Music Seminar in New York City in May 1993, Cobain
       suffered a heroin overdose. Instead of calling an ambulance, Love injected with
      naloxone-illegally-obtained out of the state of unconsciousness. A few hours later
      Cobain Nirvana played with one of the most memorable concerts of the year. The
                  public did not notice that something strange had happened.
On February 23, 1994 Kurt Cobain made ​his last appearance
                 on television in a program of Italian
                 television, Tunnel, Serena Dandini.
       On March 1, 1994, after a concert at Terminal Einz in
                                                                   HIS LAST
             Munich,Germany, Cobain was diagnosed
   with severe bronchitis and laryngitis. The next day he went
   to Rome for medical treatment. His wife would be there on
                                                                  GOODBYE
            March 3.A the next morning when he awoke,
      Love found Cobain had overdosed on a combination of
      champagne and flunitrazepam (Love got a prescription
         for Rohypnol after arriving in Rome). Cobain was
      taken immediately to hospital and spent the rest of the
     day unconscious. After spending five days in treatment,
                Cobain left the hospital and returned
     to Seattle.Posteriormente, Lovepublicly insisted that the
    incident was the first Cobain's suicide attempt. On March
       30, Cobain arrived at the Exodus Recovery Center in
         LosAngeles, California. On the afternoon of April
       1 Frances Bean's nanny (Cobain's daughter) took the
           place for a one hour visit with his father. That
          night, Cobain left the building with a cigarette,
   thenclimbed a fence 1.80m high and left the center. Then
     he took a taxi to the airport and returned to Seattle. The
      next morning he stopped at his house, where he spoke
     with Michael Cali DeWitt, who lived nearby. During the
    following days, Cobain was visiting Seattle, butseveral of
     his relatives and friends were not aware of what he did.
      On April 3, Love hired private investigator Tom Grant to
   find Cobain(Tom Grant has subsequently diverged from the
     official version of the death of Kurt Cobain) .7 The next
    day, Love filled out a missing person report with the name
     of the Cobain's mother without hispermission. He added
   that it wanted to commit suicide and was inpossession of a
                                firearm

ADICTION WITH THE DRUGS During his life, Kurt battled depression, chronic bronchitis and against intense physical pain due to a chronic stomach condition was never diagnosed, which for years sought the cause and affect him emotionally. None of the doctors he consulted were able to find the specific cause, although he said he could be the result of a scoliosis that Cobain suffered in his childhood, or was related to the stress of touring and events that the band attended. Cobain self-medicated with heroin, although his medical condition was not the main reason that caused the drug use. Cobain had his first contact with drugs in late 1990, usually to fight his hyperactivity, he was treated with strong sedative and as a child.For some months Cobain's drug use casually, but it was not long before it became an addiction. In late 1991 its use began affecting the band's tour in promotion of Nevermind, and saw Cobain passing out during photo shoots. For example, the day of submission of the band on Saturday Night Live, where Nirvana had a session with photographer Michael Levine, Cobain (who had used heroin a few hours before) was staggered several times during the session. On this, Cobain biographer Michael told him to Azerrad, "I say: What can they do? They could not tell me to stop.So I do not care. Obviously they thought it was something like practicing witchcraft. They knew well my problem, and even thought at one time was going to die. " Addiction to heroin Kurt increased over time. In early 1992, shortly after he and Courtney discovered that they were going to be parents, decided to enter rehab. After leaving, Nirvana embarked on a tour of Japan and Australia, where Cobain was pale and suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Shortly after returning to America, Kurt's addiction resurfaced. Before a performance at the New Music Seminar in New York City in May 1993, Cobain suffered a heroin overdose. Instead of calling an ambulance, Love injected with naloxone-illegally-obtained out of the state of unconsciousness. A few hours later Cobain Nirvana played with one of the most memorable concerts of the year. The public did not notice that something strange had happened.
