The cult rock musician of the 90s of the last century, musician, artist, creator of the alternative rock-grunge musical direction - the frontman of the Nirvana group Kurt Cobain took 27 years for his life. He lived as he did - boldly, recklessly, to break away. And he interrupted the flight of life when he decided himself - enough is enough.
9 years of creativity is, in fact, not much. Although, of course, depending on what, or rather, with whom to compare. If with the duration of Mick Jagger's creative ecstasy, then this is so - a spit into eternity. But if with the work of Cobain himself, which left an imprint on several generations of fans of alternative rock grunge music, as well as rave and emo music, then for the third decade in a row his work continues to influence young musicians and lovers of these musical styles. In many ways, the same as before gaining popularity, perhaps, was Kurt himself.
The gun on the wall Cobain lived his life literally from the Chekhov quote
Born in a small town, living with his mother and stepfather, with whom, to put it mildly, he did not get along, being an introvert, without friends, because he did not know how to make them, he was looking for something that could tear him away from the gray reality and open him up to peace with him. That something became music. Only in her did he feel truly alive.

Nirvana: "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
He managed to acquire the first professional musical equipment after he, using a trick, sold a gun and other hunting equipment to his stepfather. Then he managed for the first time a lot and almost free to smoke marijuana. He enjoyed both adventures, but had to leave the house.
To the powerful sound-amplifying equipment, Kurt quickly found those who, like him, were not averse to express themselves, playing what they thought was punk-rock - a bass player and drummer. So, in 1985, the Fecal Matter group was created, which existed for less than a year, but with it Cobain recorded a demo with singles, which later formed the basis of his career - on the first album of the Nirvana group in 1988. Three years later, the second followed, which brought the group an unexpected success. which immediately began to weigh on Kurt. He was only interested in the music itself, and not derivatives from its performance. Around the same time, Courtney Love entered his life. She became the woman of his whole life, and she may have become the cause of the musician's death.
This is unsubstantiated, but many fans of Kurt Cobain want to think that way, because it was Love who received and continues to receive the greatest dividends after the death of the musician.
They called him and he decided - it's time Kurt Cobain could not stand being cool, he chose to become dead
There are conflicting facts, both in favor and against suicide, which have not yet been able to help anyone understand why Kurt Cobain died. And it is unlikely that this mystery will ever be solved.
Evidence confirming the possibility of suicide: Kurt suffered from a hereditary mental illness - bipolar affective disorder, which can lead to suicide, and a year before the finale, Kurt was already dying of an overdose of narcotic substances, washed down with champagne; Cobain did not succeed in recovering from monstrous drug addiction - he did not want to or could not; he himself spoke about the desire for suicide more than once; the consumed amount of heroin led to such an addiction of the body that he did not immediately recognize the lethal dose and allowed Kurt to also shoot him in the head.
"I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away."
"I have no more passion, so remember that it is better to burn out than to fade away."
Evidence refuting the possibility of suicide: the written suicide note is addressed not to someone from relatives, friends, fans, and finally, but to the children's fictional friend Bodda, its text is questionable, especially the postscript, and in general - men, as a rule, especially with a similar diagnosis do not leave suicide notes; the dose of heroin injected exceeded all possible limits three times, any person, and especially in poor physical shape, could not even remove the syringe from the body at such a dose, and not just take a gun and attach himself to it so as to unconditionally send himself to that light. Hence the conclusion - his death was beneficial to Courtney Love, who ordered the murder of her husband.
“If any of you hates homosexuals, people of a different race or women because of something, please do us a favor - go nafig and leave us alone! Don't come to our concerts and don't buy our albums."
When Kurt went into the gap: in creativity, recording albums in the studio, on stage, laying out every time as if there could be nothing further and even music, or in life, when he loved, made friends or took drugs, traveling to dens - for him all the same, there were things that he did not allow anyone to touch with dirty hands. These are simple and important things for any person: tolerance, respect for someone else's choice, rejection of any violence against a person. This is probably why he accepted his death as he chose.
Cobain's death is mysterious. Only one thing is clear - he brought her closer, as best he could, with his whole life. His gun went off when he decided it was time. Even if he did not physically do it himself.
