The new mural seeks to celebrate the life of the Nirvana frontman and raise awareness around mental health

A new mural to mark the 30th anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain has been revealed in Manchester City Centre .

"All the murals have been commissioned to raise awareness of the mental health text message support service, Shout 85258, to celebrate the incredible artist, and prevent further tragedies from happening." "Additionally, we’ll use the proceeds to cover the production and shipping costs of limited edition prints: we’re offering A4 limited edition prints of the mural to those who pledge £50 ; for those who pledge £100, you’ll receive an exclusive A3 limited edition print . Join us in making a positive difference in mental health awareness."

"We were looking for a location in close proximity to Oxford Road, because that's near where to both of those gigs took place," adds Atheer. "We wanted a venue that was a stone's throw away from that. Now repositioned as a social enterprise, it works to create music-led solutions to raise money and awareness for mental health charities. "Going into lockdown meant we had to refocus, and we've now got big plans for later this year in terms of a music event.
