#RSFans Remember Kurt Cobain
Eighteen years ago today – on April 5, 1994 – Kurt Cobain took his life at home in Seattle. To this day, his legacy as Nirvana’s frontman and a generation’s shredded voice is as strong as ever.
Here’s how his fans are remembering him today, through descriptions of what Cobain meant to them and quotes from the man himself:
RIP Kurt Cobain. 18 years today, the world lost a music legend. He would be 45.
