Kurt Donald Cobain was the leader of Nirvana, the
multi-platinum grunge band that redefined the sound of the
nineties.
Cobain was born on the 20th of February 1967 in Hoquaim, a
small town 140 kilometres south-west of Seattle. His mother
was a cocktail waitress and his father was an auto mechanic.
Cobain soon moved to nearby Aberdeen, a depressed and dying
logging town.
Cobain was for most his childhood a sickly bronchitic child.
Matters were made worse when Cobain's parent's divorced when
he was seven and by his own account Cobain said he never felt
loved or secure again. He became increasingly difficult,
anti-social and withdrawn after his parent's divorce. Cobain
also said that his parent's traumatic split fueled a lot of
the anguish in Nirvana's music.
