"I Nirvana, il gruppo più bello del mondo. Erano in tre, tre allegri ragazzi morti. Poi uno è morto sul serio. Anzi, si è ammazzato. Ricordo perfettamente quel giorno nella primavera del 1994. Ero alla fiera del libro di Bologna con la cartella di disegni sotto al braccio. Incontrai Mauro Chiaretto, alias Spider Jack, e fu lui che mi chiese se avevo sentito di Kurt. Certo che avevo sentito. Cioè, in quel periodo tutti parlavano di lui. Era da poco stato ricoverato a Roma per una overdose. Sapevo che stava male. Comunque a me questa cosa non piaceva. Non capivo perché un gruppo così unico si lasciasse intrappolare da una comunicazione così invasiva, come succedeva ai gruppi negli anni '70. Tutti i giornali parlavano della dipendenza di Kurt, dei problemi con sua moglie Courtney Love, dei litigi con il produttore Steve Albini per la realizzazione di "In Utero". Mi sembrava una brutta operazione di marketing. Mica ne avevano bisogno. I Nirvana erano il miglior gruppo rock si fosse mai sentito in giro. E punto. Perciò annuendo risposi che sapevo dei casini che aveva. Come fosse un mio parente. Mauro capì che non avevo capito e me lo disse con discrezione. Kurt Cubain era morto. Si era suicidato. L'eco di quello sparo riportò tutti i fantasmi a galla nella mia testa, Ian Curtis per primo e poi tutti i suicidi che nella mia vita sono entrati con il loro strascico di domande e sensi di colpa. A un suicidio si cerca sempre un colpevole."

Author Tom Grant, on Murder At Lake Washington: The Mysterious Death of Kurt Cobain, Part 2: Silence: "Has anyone ever seen someone take out a full-page ad in a magazine that was designed to intimidate the media into not allowing someone to tell the facts about the suspicious circumstances of an individual's death? Who does something like that? And who threatens to sue the media without threatening to sue the person who actually told those details to the public? The main suspect in the murder of Kurt Cobain paid her high-priced attorneys to use such an unprecedented silencing tactic, but it backfired. Her attorneys were nothing but 'briefcase bullies' who lacked any real strength. They enjoyed blowing a lot of smoke--but when I stood up to them--they walked away with their tails between their legs. After all, they can't actually follow through with their threats. Why? Because I'm telling the truth and their client is lying."

Tom Grant is the California state-licensed private investigator in Beverly Hills who was hired to find Kurt Cobain after Cobain left a drug rehab center in Marina Del Rey, California, on April 1, 1994 and was subsequently reported missing. Kurt Cobain was found dead on April 8, 1994.

Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967 - c. April 5, 1994) was an American songwriter and musician, best known as the lead singer and guitarist of the rock band Nirvana. With the lead single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from Nirvana's second album Nevermind (1991), Nirvana entered into the mainstream, popularizing a subgenre of alternative rock called grunge. Other Seattle grunge bands such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden also gained wider audiences, and as a result, alternative rock became a dominant genre on radio and music television in the United States during the early-to-middle 1990s. Nirvana became considered as the "flagship band" of "Generation X," and Cobain, as its frontman, found himself anointed by the media as the generation's "spokesman." Cobain was uncomfortable with the attention and placed his focus on the band's music, believing the band's message and artistic vision to have been misinterpreted by the public, challenging the band's audience with its third studio album In Utero (1993).

NIRVANA FAQ traces the band from its genesis to its end. Founded by friends Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic, Nirvana had a rocky start and a succession of drummers, but by the end of 1990, its debut album, Bleach, had garnered international attention and the groups sixth drummer, Dave Grohl, had joined the fold. Following its mentors Sonic Youth to Geffen Records, Nirvana had hoped for modest success. Instead came unexpected wealth and fame on the strength of 1991s Nevermind and its iconic, breakthrough single Smells Like Teen Spirit. Success didnt sit well with Cobain, who began to numb the stresses of rock stardom with heroin. Despite 1993s hit album In Utero, Cobains unhappiness became increasingly apparent.

In July 1993, Nirvana was the biggest band in the world, and Kurt Cobain was subject to an intense level of celebrity and public scrutiny. In New York City to play the famed Roseland Ballroom and promote their new album In Utero, Cobain and Nirvana were photographed by Jesse Frohman - and Cobain gave a candid interview to Jon Savage - for an article in the Observer. Only nine months later, Cobain killed himself. It was the last formal photo shoot Nirvana ever did, and one of the last major interviews Cobain ever gave. Twenty years after his death, they are published here together for the first time since the Observer article, including previously unpublished material, and accompanied by new commentary from Frohman and Savage about that day, and an essay by pop culture maven Glenn O Brien on what it all might have meant. Frohman s 100-plus photographs, including contact sheets, get to the heart of one of the most beloved bands of all time, at the height of their success - and the moment when everything was starting to unravel. We see Cobain as he was just months before his death, by turns feral and refined, posing on his own, goofing around with his band mates, engrossed in his music and always ambivalent about the spotlight. Savage s interview reveals an optimistic side of Cobain seemingly at odds with his public image, and particularly poignant as we look back on his life. This book offers a powerful, moving portrait of Kurt Cobain and will be an important contribution to the literature of rock and roll.

Manche werden von einem zwei Meter großen Hasen begleitet, für andere ist ihr bester Kumpel ein Stofftiger, mit dem sie die tollsten Abenteuer erleben (und der zum Glück oft deutlich klüger ist als sie selbst). Kurt Cobain, ehedem Frontmann der Kultband Nirvana, hatte mit fünf Jahren ein Alter Ego namens Boddah, als ein Schuldiger für das Quälen von Nachbars Katze gesucht wurde. Und das ihn zeit seines Lebens nicht wieder losließ. Boddah war fortan immer dabei. Als Cobain mit fünfzehn »Kill Your Parents« an die Schulwand sprühte. Als er anfing, Musik zu machen, um in der provinziellen Ödnis westlich von Seattle Halt und Orientierung zu finden. Bei den ersten Auftritten, den ersten Tourneen. Dem Welterfolg, den Drogenexzessen, um seine chronischen Schmerzen zu betäuben: Boddah bekam alles mit, hautnah. Die Ängste, die Depressionen. Vor allem aber Kurt Cobains amour fou, seine irrwitzige Liebe zu Courtney Love – zwei verwandte, ähnlich zerrissene Seelen, wie füreinander bestimmt. Durch diese Liebe konnte er seine abgründige Einsamkeit überwinden. Und an ihr ist er letztlich verzweifelt.

»Boddah« ist eine Art alternativer Autobiografie, garantiert nicht autorisiert. Aber bestens informiert und von Nicolas Otero perfekt umgesetzt: gleichzeitig reduziert und explosiv wie ein Grunge-Song. Auffällig: so überschwänglich-exzessiv und manisch-depressiv, wie Kurt Cobain auftritt, so cool und reflektiert kommentiert sein imaginärer Freund Boddah das Geschehen. Das tragische Ende ist bekannt. Als Cobain glaubte, seine innere Zerrissenheit nicht mehr ertragen zu können, nahm er sich schließlich selbst das Leben. Sein Abschiedsbrief war gerichtet an – Boddah.

Nirvana was an American rock band formed by singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987.

Despite releasing only three full-length studio albums in their seven-year career, Nirvana has come to be regarded as one of the most influential and important alternative bands in history. Though the band dissolved in 1994 after the suicide of Cobain, their music maintains a popular following and continues to influence modern rock and roll culture.

Kurt Donald Cobain was an American musician, artist, songwriter, guitarist and poet. Born in Aberdeen, Washington, Cobain formed the band Nirvana with Krist Novoselic in 1987 and established it as part of the Seattle music scene and grunge genre. Nirvana's debut album Bleach was released on the independent record label Sub Pop in 1989. After signing with major label DGC Records, the band found breakthrough success with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from their 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 with that label, believing his message and artistic vision to have been misinterpreted by the public, with his personal issues often subject to media attention.
