Kurt Cobain has now been gone longer than he was with us. The Nirvana frontman born February 20, 1967, spent 27 years and 44 days on Earth but sadly died April 5, 1994.

As of May 20, 2021, Kurt has been gone for 27 years and 45 days.


It's amazing to think of the impact that someone so young could make but more importantly the void his absence created. Documentaries have been made, countless books written, and conspiracies surrounding his death abound, but just three albums of work found their way to our ears and have yet to leave.
