20 February 2020 marked what would have been the late rock star's 53rd birthday.
In recent yearts, his former bandmate Dave Grohl has opened up about the difficulty he had dealing with questions about the rocker after his death.
In Rolling Stone's Musicians on Musicians interview with Grohl and The Beatles legend Ringo Starr, the pair talked about losing their bandmates suddenly and unexpectedly.
Speaking about Cobain, Grohl mused: "Well, I realized when Kurt died that thereâs no right or wrong way to grieve. It takes funny turns. Youâll be numb. Youâll remember the good things, then youâll turn and remember some dark times."
The Foo Fighters frontman and former Nirvana drummer continued: "And itâs also difficult when one of your friends or someone that youâre very close to, in real life, has become something more than a human being to others. So you sit in an interview and someone asks you these questions that are really emotional, that youâd never ask another stranger."
He added: "'Howâd you feel when your brother died?' 'Howâd you feel when your family member died?' Itâs just not something that youâd meet someone and say. So it was tough for a while, but I realized that it was important for me to continue with life, and the thing that saved my life was music. More than a few times before that, my life was saved by playing music."
