About this listen

Grunge had a king. But fame has a cost.
In April 1994, the body of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was found in a Seattle greenhouse... a shotgun, a suicide note, and a flood of unanswered questions. Officially ruled a suicide, the case closed quickly. But the pain? That never did.

In this episode, Dead Notes traces Cobain's meteoric rise, his tortured artistry, and the crushing weight of becoming a generational icon. We don't chase conspiracy theories... we sit with the story, as it was. And as it still haunts us today.
