I know that I may talk about this specific death a little too much but we all have to admit one thing. The death of Kurt Cobain heavily impacted literally everyone around the world in the late 1990’s. As we all know, Kurt Cobain was the lead singer and lead guitarist for the legendary grunge band, Nirvana from 1987 up until 1994 which was the time of his death. Kurt Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home on April 5th, 1994 with a shotgun in his hand, a “suicide note” next to him, and drugs near his body. He had overdosed on heroin before the time of his death. Once the word got out that Cobain was dead, everyone was absolutely devastated. I mean come on. This guy literally changed an era, you have to have some gratitude to appreciate what the guy did in his time.
