- The Business Post is reporting that Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love’s daughter Frances Bean Cobain has signed a two-album deal with Columbia Records, and her first album is due soon.  Cobain has been teasing new song ideas all years, most famously a song that appeared to be about her late father that she posted a clip of on April 5th, the 2%th anniversary of his death by suicide in 1994. Frances Bean Cobain discussed going to Ireland to attend the Growing Up Kurt Cobain premiere event in a new Independent interview. “I think that it was important for all of us three to come to Ireland.  - This is where our roots are. It’s a very healing place,” she says. “I’ve been here before and it was super healing for me as a child and I wanted to come and be a part of this experience with them. I don’t know if we could recreate the energy of this specific trip again. The reason that this is so healing is because it’s in Ireland. That’s a huge component of it I

- I n 1994, there was barely an internet and no  Daily Show , so when breaking news hit, for many of us, our source was  Kurt Loder  on MTV News. And on April 8, 1994, the day that  Nirvana  frontman  Kurt Cobain ’s body was found, I was glued to MTV watching hour after hour of Loder slowly revealing an IV drip of details about the musician’s death from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. (Cobain passed away on April 5, but it wasn’t until days later that the body found in his home was discovered and identified.) - All afternoon on that dreadful Friday, as more questions were answered about the how and where of it all, Loder dutifully reported every piece of information that came in in a completely un-sensational, straightforward way. It’s almost shocking to see his level of stoicism, but, look, it was a different time.  There was no TMZ and things weren’t reported with exclamation points and emojis. This was the death of the biggest rock star of our ge

- Kurt apparently wrote “FUHGAWZ” on his left shoe to make fun of Eddie Vedder.  Eddie once wrote “Fuhgawz” on his shirt just before a photo shoot, intentionally misspelling Fugazi.   Kurt apparently wrote it on his shoe to basically make fun of Vedder. - Both of Kurt’s shoes had it written on them in two different spellings of the name: The story behind this phrase is that Vedder intentionally wrote it on his shirt just before a photoshoot, misspelling the word Fugazi (punk band from Washington, DC.). Since Kurt did not like Pearl Jam, he scratched his sneakers with hints in graffiti mode. -

- Many have blamed Kurt Cobain’s suicide — on this day, April 8, in 1994 — on the harsh glare of the spotlight: an especially brutal force for someone as sensitive as the Nirvana frontman. LIFE Books described a tribute commemorating the th anniversary of Cobain’s death, last year, as “the story of a young man who buckled beneath the weight of enormous, unwanted fame.”  In the book’s introduction, editor Bob Sullivan notes that “at the apex of Nirvana’s success, [Cobain] said he wished he could quit that gig and be a sideman in his wife’s band, Hole.” But casting fame as the villain in Cobain’s undoing would be an oversimplification. Whether or not he recognized all that it entailed, celebrity was his goal from the time he founded Nirvana. “He definitely wanted to be famous,” the band’s former manager, Danny Goldberg, told USA Today in 2004. “He worked assiduously with tremendous clarity to achieve that. He designed the band’s T-shirts, commented on detailed aspects

- The presenter met the leader of Nirvana and accompanied him during the Hollywood Rock festival in 1993 In 1993, the Hollywood Rock festival was in charge of landing three of the greatest bands in rock history in Brazil in three days of the event; In addition to having Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Alice in Chains, the organization knew how to take advantage of the rise of the grunge movement in the world and bring, in an unprecedented way, the greatest exponent of that period.  Nirvana landed in the country to play on the stage of the Morumbi Stadium, in São Paulo, on the night of January 16 of that year. With sold-out tickets, numbering more than 110,000 people, it would be the largest presentation in terms of audience and structure for the band, with a cigarette brand sponsoring the event and stamping its name. Who did not know of this last fact, however, was the main singer of the band, Kurt Cobain, who arrived to the lands of Tupiniquim quietly with his wife Court
