Kurt Cobain
Despite his musical success, Cobain's relatively short life was plagued with tragedy and hardship. A succession of broken relationships, drug addiction and depression prefaced his premature death when he was only twenty-seven years old.
To many of his fans Kurt was a hero, his musical talent led him to be called ''the voice of a generation.'' Kurt Cobain will never be forgotten, his music will always live on, and hopefully others will learn from Kurt's tragic end.
''Long before there was a void in our hearts, there was a void in Kurt Cobain's''.
The life of a rock star starts out with just a few lyrics scribbled on a piece of paper. With the added help of a good voice, good sound, hard work and determination, someone can become very successful in the competitive music industry. Among the successful, hardworking artists in this industry are Little Richard, Elvis Presley, The Beatles and the Sex Pistols. Kurt Cobain, the lead singer from the famous band Nirvana, can also be included with these rock legends, and his life in music is supported by great talent, emotional conflicts and difficult relationships that courted controversy both when he was alive and in the years following his death.
Born on the 20th February 1967 in Abertine, Washington, when he was only seven years old his mother and father divorced. Following this incident, Kurt was moved between various family members and friends, and for this the situation got to the point of being unbearable so he started to spend most nights under a bridge near the road he used to live in- immortalized in the song "Something in the Way"-. Here, Kurt's time was mostly spent writing, the writing which then became his earliest lyrics. Moreover, school life wasn't any easier on Kurt either. Unlike most boys at that age, Kurt had little interest in football and the mainstream sports; instead he enjoyed painting and singing, therefore he didn't have many friends at school. Many thought of him as just another "weird-o" or even a bisexual- since he spent most of the time with the girls who shared his interests, others thought he was simply just strange, so he decided to isolate himself from most people.
