Nirvana fans honour Cobain's memory

LOS ANGELES (Nirvana Fans Website) - 10 years after his death, the memory of the legendary leader of the group Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, remains alive, fed by tragic revelations about his life and scandals involving his widow, singer Courtney Love.

On April 5, 1994, Cobain shot himself in the head in his residence in Seattle, Washington, a few kilometres away from Aberdeen, where he was born.
Twenty-seven years of Cobain's dramatic life were marked by the birth of his daughter, Frances Bean, and the success of the album Nevermind, that has sold more than 14 million copies since its 1991 release. With his long blond hair and shifting eyes, Cobain left this world but gave birth to a new legend in music.

Nirvana is seen by experts as a group that changed the history of rock music in the 1990s, much like singer Elvis Presley did in the 1950s, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in the 1960s and the Sex Pistols in the 1970s.
Many rock fanatics will celebrate today like every year the legacy left by the singer, who is considered creator of the style "grunge."

The preferred scene for such memorial events is Viretta Park in Seattle where fans sing Cobain's songs, bring flowers and light candles in his memory. The park is located outside the mansion where Cobain lived with his wife and their daughter, who is now 11 years old.

His songs Smells Like Teen Spirit, Lithium, Come As You Are and The Man Who Sold the World are constantly being played on radio around the world.
The magazine Rolling Stone dedicated pages to Cobain and declared him one of 20 legendary figures in the history of music.
MTV television said that to this day nobody can compare to the creator of "grunge."
