20 Feb 2010 - Saturday 20 February would have been Kurt Cobain's 43th birthday.
However, having soared to stardom in the space of two years, Cobain then plummeted into a world of despair and drugs and ended his own life with a shotgun.
Kurt's biographer Charles R Cross thinks Nirvana's rise was the worst thing that happened to him:
“One thing, the thing he thought would fix him, didn’t fix him, and I think he was even more adrift after he became famous because of that.”
The NME today has named Nirvana’s performance at the Reading Festival in 1992 as the bands greatest moment for fans.
Other performances of the band, who were only together for a few years at the end of the 80s and early 90s, included the infamous MTV unplugged gig and their Top of The Pops show in which they sang the wrong words.
Cobain died on 5 April 1994.
