​Kurt Cobain Music Fans Mourn Nirvana’s Singer 22 Years After Death

Kurt Cobain’s death occurred on April 5, 1994, at the height of Nirvana’s popularity as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. His suicide was such a tragedy for an entire generation that identified with him, that many of them had felt that they had lost a friend or relative.

Despite the level of fame, wealth and success he had achieved, Cobain could not escape his inner demons of drugs, depression, bi-polar disorder, or his turbulent marriage to Hole singer Courtney Love, according to New York Daily News. The last line of Kurt Cobain’s suicide note read, “It’s better to burn out than fade away,” which are lyrics from Neil Young’s song “Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black).”
