Good morning ladies and gentlermen. My talk is about one of the most famous rockstars, Kurt Cobain.
The famous singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain was born in Hoquaim, Washington in 1967. His parents are called Wendy and Donald Cobain. Kurt also had a sister named Kimberly Cobain. He had a lucky childhood, but when Kurt was eight years old, his parents got divorced. Kurt got psychological problems when he and his mother, moved to Aberdeen. Kurt spent his youth there. He became an unhappy child, who wasn’t accepted by the other kids. He also was confronted with the death, because his uncle killed himself. In this time, the guitarist Buzz Osborne was Kurts best friend, who lead him to the “punkmusic”. On his 14. birthday he had the choice between a guitar and a new bike. He decided in favour of the guitar and got one from his uncle Chuck. Cobain practised with the guitar all the time and at the age of 15 he met Krist Novoselic.
They made music together and a few years later they founded the band Nirvana, but I will talk about this later. At the age of 18, he left school without an exam and moved to Olympia. There, he lived with his girlfriend Tracy Marander, but because of his unemployment the relationship was broken. In these days he wrote the song „About a girl“.
From 1986, Cobain and Novoselic appeared on the scene with different bands and in 1987 they founded Nirvana. Nirvana published four albums and a lot of singles. The style of their music is called Grunge, Grunge is a kind of alternative rock which is inspired by punk, heavy metal and indie rock. The most famous songs are called „Smells like teen spirit“ and „Come as you are“. Kurt Cobain was the writer of most of the songs of Nirvana but he also worked with many other bands and realized albums with them.
In April 1989 he had known Courtney Love and three years later, in February 1992, they got married in Waikiki. On August 18th, 1992 their daughter Frances Bean was born. He was so happy until he finally became problems with his stomach. No one could explain which kind of illness he had. So he called it „Cobain´s Disease“. As he didn´t get medicine against his pain, he started to take drugs.
In 1990 he sometimes took heroin and after the album „Nevermind“ from Nirvana he injected it regularly. He made six therapies to become clean - without success. In march 1994 the „In Utero-tour“ had to break off because of his stomach problems. During his last try to become clean, he escaped from a hospital in Los Angeles. On the 5th of April in 1994, he commited suicide with a shotgun. So its just told, no one know if he killed himself or whether he was murdered. The police discovered him only 3 days later in a garage with an overdose heroin in his blood.
Anyway Kurt Cobain was one of the most famous Rockstars in the World, he died at the age of 27.
