Kurt Cobain Biography and history of the great musician
The vocalist of the band Nirvana, Kurt Cobain (full name Kurt Donald Cobain), was born on February 20, 1967.
It is to him that the greatest contribution to the development of music belongs, which he made in the 90s.
His personality still causes a lot of controversy, but one way or another, his contribution is difficult to underestimate.
The family in which Kurt was born, to put it mildly, was not small, without a share of exaggeration, he was taken care of at an early stage by 8 native uncles and aunts.
It cannot be said that he grew up spoiled, his family has never been distinguished by great financial prosperity, moreover, it took them many years to save the necessary amount to buy their own house.
In his childhood, young Cobain drew a lot, but despite his emerging talents, he was very shy.
However, even at a young age, he did not consider himself talented or capable and terribly hated when he was praised or put on display, as an example to other children.
He became interested in music, thanks to the family circle.
His own uncle and Aunt, from time to time, took him to rehearsals.
It was there that he started trying to sing.
A little later, on one of the holidays, he was presented with records by The Monkees and The Beatles.
So began his acquaintance with rock, which a little later flowed into the meaning of life.
At the age of seven, Kurt could already play simple songs on the guitar and tap out some parts on the drum kit.
However, not everything went so well, his talents were hampered by health problems, namely chronic bronchitis and problems with the spine.
His own father put pressure on him, because Kurt Cobain was born left handed (and levs in our world do not live quite comfortably), his father constantly forced him to do everything right, which frankly infuriated Kurt.
Another thing that brought discomfort was constant exercise.
The father was an athlete and did everything possible to discourage his child's craving for art.
1975, brought Kurt suffering – his parents divorced.
This finally finished off the closed child, who went into contact with strangers, very unwillingly.
A little later, he wrote that he hated his father and mother.
At a young age, he became the object of adoration for girls.
His non standard behavior, which was radically different from the behavior of other guys of his age, caused a strong sympathy, for which many guys from his school began to openly hate.
Kurt himself did not understand what caused such a reaction, moreover, he did not respond to active courtship from the girls in any way.
This gave rise to rumors that he was none other than a homosexual.
Cobain openly laughed at this, but he was not going to change his lifestyle in any way.
For a long time, he could not decide which of his parents he should stay with.
At first, he tried to live with his mother, but because of her new pastor suffering from schizophrenia, he moved to his father, but he could not get along with his new wife there.
As a result, he began to live with many of his relatives (those same native Uncles and Aunts).
In the ninth grade, he started smoking marijuana, gradually increasing the dose to a daily one.
Then he was carried down an incline – he began to walk around the school, not to perform tasks that were given to the teachers at home.
Later, he explained this behavior – most of the teachers were either racists or religious fanatics, it really infuriated him.
In 1984, 6 months before graduating from high school, he decides not to study anymore.
His mother did not approve of his decision and after a big quarrel, she kicked him out of the house.
During this period of his life, he lived in different places, starting with his friends, ending with flophouses under the bridge.
However, in a certain sense, he quite liked this situation, he considered himself a true punk (punk rocker).
A little later, he gets acquainted with heroin and gets hooked on the needle.
Now he was providing for himself.
At first, he worked as a fitter in one of the Christian organizations, but unable to withstand the "religious onslaught", he changes it to a swimming instructor for children aged 3-7 years.
Later, he admitted that the new job was more to his liking than serving fanatics.
Cobain got his first electric guitar at the age of 14, it was a gift from his uncle Chuck.
He also gave him an amplifier.
At that time, Kurt was already covered by the rock movement and heavy music.
Kurt's first band was formed in 1985, it was called Fecal Matter (7 songs were recorded).
Then there was a legendary acquaintance – Chris Novoselic calls Cobain to a new project, where he takes the place of a drummer.
The first material was taken from the first group Fecal Matter, but later the musicians started composing their own songs.
Later, he moved to the guitar.
Subsequently, the name of the group changed repeatedly, until the participants settled on the final version – Nirvana.
Then his life is tightly intertwined with the group, so if you want, you can read the biography at the link located above.
Closer to 1989, when Nirvana already had a significant name in music circles around the world, Cobain's health problems worsened, namely abdominal pain.
He couldnot get rid of them, so he got hooked on heroin again.
At that time, it was the only medicine that helped him.
His growing popularity interfered with his normal life, he hated when he was written about in the newspapers, when journalists began to harass him at every turn.
However, there was nothing to be done about it.
The acquaintance with his wife took place in 1989, it was then that Kurt Cobain met Courtney Love.
At this moment, everything turned out to be just a simple communication.
The second meeting took place only in 1991, but because of the quick temper of the future spouses, it ended in a fight.
After that, long conversations on the phone begin.
The couple got together, now they were already taking drugs together, having fun and getting drunk.
During the same period.
Journalists find out that Cobain is a drug addict, i.e. publications that openly infuriated and irritated Kurt begin to appear in the newspapers.
The couple got married already in Hawaii.
At that time, Courtney Love was already pregnant.
His daughter was born on August 18, 1992, he never saw the birth of his child, but he was insanely happy.
He never hid these feelings.
On April 6, 1994, Kurt Cobain was found dead.
The official version is suicide.
Although this point is quite controversial and still causes among fans and people.
Familiar with his work, a lot of different disputes.
