We thought for sure that by now, on the 19th anniversary of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's death, every last shred of documentation regarding the iconic rocker's suicide would have been unearthed. Turns out we were wrong.
Bringing together the surviving members of Nirvana with a different singer taking over for the late, great Kurt Cobain is a touchy subject, but Dave Grohl reveals he recently came up with the perfect person to fill Kurt's Converse All-Stars: PJ Harvey. Unfortunately, her schedule wouldn't allow it.
Rejoice: As long as there are Killers, there'll be killer Killers Christmas singles.
What would Kurt Cobain have thought about last night's Art Basel tribute?
Apparently, Courtney Love will not be involved in the production of the forthcoming Kurt Cobain documentary that the late Nirvana singer's widow last week announced is being planned for release in 2014. Love revealed that she has authorized the making of the as-yet-untitled documentary, which will be helmed by filmmaker Brett Morgen, but it now seems that that will be the extent of Love's involvement.
While rumors regarding a Broadway musical based on Kurt Cobain's early years appear to have been untrue, Courtney Love seems to be going forward with another project to honor her late husband. Apparently, she has given the go-ahead for a documentary with an expected release date of 2014.
She hasn't released an album in a couple of years, but that doesn't mean Courtney Love isn't busy -- in fact, if one recent report is correct, she's getting ready to revisit Kurt Cobain's legacy with a musical inspired by his early years in Nirvana.
Did U.S. congressman and vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan lift one of the anecdotes he told during Thursday's debate against Joe Biden from, of all people, Kurt Cobain? At one point during his time at the podium, Ryan told the adorable story of how his daughter Liza got the nickname Bean, explaining that she looked like a bean in an ultrasound he and his wife received.
Classic rocker Neil Young has revealed in his new autobiography, 'Waging Heavy Peace,' that the suicide note left by Kurt Cobain "struck a deep chord" with him -- and says that he was even trying to get in touch with the late Nirvana star at the time of his death.
Has Kurt Cobain been reincarnated in the body of a Russian subway musician? With his dark hair and brown eyes, Nikolay Petrovskiy looks little like the late Nirvana frontman, but he sings selections from the Nirvana songbook with a voice so eerily reminiscent of Kurt's that it sounds as if he's summoning Cobain's spirit. Close your eyes and listen closely!
-- The vintage tour van once driven by sludge metal legends the Melvins (which features artwork on the side that was hand-drawn by late Nirvana star Kurt Cobain) was finally sold at auction for just over $24,000. What a steal!
