Kurt Cobain died 26 years ago today. Read our 1994 investigative report on the Nirvana frontman's final days

was rocky. In fact, Love told MTV that Cobain said to her in the weeks after Rome: “I hate it — I can’t play with them anymore.” She added that he only wanted to work with Michael Stipe of“In the last few weeks, I was talking to Kurt a lot,” Stipe said in a statement. “We had a musical project in the works, but nothing was recorded.”

On March 25, roughly 10 friends — including band mates Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear, Nirvana manager John Silva, Billig, longtime friend Dylan Carlson, Love and Goldberg — gathered at Cobain’s home on Seattle’s Lake Washington Boulevard to take a different approach with a new intervention counselor. As part of the intervention, Love threatened to leave Cobain, and Smear and Novoselic said they would break up the band if Cobain didn’t check into rehab.

Cobain and Carlson headed to Stan’s Gun Shop nearby and purchased a six-pound Remington 20-gauge shotgun and a box of ammunition for roughly $300, which Cobain gave Carlson in cash. “He was going out to L.A.,” Carlson says. “It seemed kind of weird that he was buying the shotgun before he was leaving. So I offered to hold on to it until he got back.” Cobain, however, insisted on keeping the shotgun himself.

According to one of Cobain’s visitors at the clinic, “I was ready to see him look like shit and depressed. He looked so fucking great. He walked out an hour later.” At 7:25 p.m., Cobain told the clinic staff he was stepping out onto the patio for a smoke and, according to Love, “jumped over the fence.” Actually, it was a brick wall more than 6 feet high. “We watch our patients really well,” says a spokesperson for Exodus. “But some do get out.

Elsewhere on April 7, an emergency phone call was placed to 911 about a “possible overdose victim” at the Peninsula Hotel. The police, the fire department and ambulances arrived at the scene, where they found Love and Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson. Love was taken to Century City Hospital, arriving around 9:30 a.m. She was released two and a half hours later. Lt.

After a long and taxing battle with children’s services in Los Angeles, where they were then living, the couple regained custody of the girl. In a September 1992article, Cobain admitted to “dabbling” in heroin and detoxing twice in the past year — a strategic move, according to an insider, to mollify children’s services. In subsequent interviews, Cobain never admitted to using heroin after he and Love had detoxed before Frances Bean was born.

GuillaumeAuda J en ai un souvenir si précis …

Everyone knew it was coming, it was just a question of when and how

I got home from uni classes. I opened the door & my roommate was watching MTV news. He pointed his finger towards the tv without saying a word. Then I heard “Kurt Cobain dead at 27”. I felt like someone was trying to squash me down. Will never forget that day KurtCobain

The moment when the music and the world changed forever KurtCobain Nirvana

Found out driving home from college and listening to 99.1 WHFS

I was in 7th grade at the time. I remember the news being broke on Channel 1 TV with andersoncooper

🎸🎼🎸

I was a senior in high school. When I heard I was sad but not surprised. RIP Kurt.

Sweet. Do Rolling Stone next.

went by this historic, and somewhat infamous house back in September in Seattle, Nirvana

Overrated

LIAR

Wesley Willis was a better artist.

RipKurt. the world got even harder.

Great band! You hate to see such talent squandered in drugs and suicide.

The box of drugs were closed and his sleeves were rolled down CourtneyDidIt

I remember that day. If someone from the future were to have come up to me in that moment and said- in 26 years; in the year of 2020, there will be a global pandemic killing thousands I’d have said yup, sounds reasonable.

drank in my cup

One of my favorite bands. It's a shame I wasn't alive to see them in concert

Ok. In retrospect, it’s so easy to say hindsight. But why was he left alone? I’ve been that crazy and my family wouldn’t dare allow me to my own devices.

Investigation my ass. It was ruled a suicide the same day. Dead men don’t pull triggers. 3X lethal dose of heroin was in his system. courtneyhiredahit

that was a sad day... RIP Kurt

It’s amazing how you continually release false information. Dr. Osvaldo Galletta, who treated Cobain after the Rome incident: “We can usually tell a suicide attempt. This didn't look like one to me.”

Nirvana Forever

Legend ❤️kurt

correction died by suicide

Rest In Peace to a legend he changed rock music and seemed like a great guy

I agree when you said he was the antithesis of all the rock gods who came before him. Kurt Cobain was phenomenal. Smells Like Teen Spirit and Lithium is masterpiece. I listened to that songs a thousand times.

I was waiting to see something on this. Sad to see its a little less remembered as each passing year goes by.

KurtCobain 26 años hoy. Saludos a todas las tv de mierda

Ya 26 años de que enviudaste lualvarezd

Quick question,why did he think Led Zeppelin was sexist?

I still have my unused concert ticket they were meant to play in Birmingham UK

Not even the best grunge musician to die on March 5th.

KurtCobain

RIP. Saw you perform the year before you passed on. Amazing show. Rock on in Nirvana! ❤️🎼

Fuck Courtney Love

🎤👌👍😢

HeavierThanHeaven (bio on Kurt) and the Bible (KJV... I'm old school) were the 2 books that got me through a year in Iraq 2004-05. One talks of kfc Chicken Littles and Barqs root beer... the other advises on small portions of fish and bread. (I prefer the CLs & RB.) 💯

I need something uplifting today. Cobain isn’t it.

Imagine all those unwritten Songs

A long, but very good read. I guess no one will ever know the exact truth as to what happened. Stories abound. Who knows🤷‍♂️

I remember when I’ve Learned the news that He passed away, I was crying all day long.. I was 10 Years old and I loved Nirvana since then...

'I hate myself and want to die'... cough on me

Don’t forget Layne.
