*Cobain
And there is a common misconception that Kurt Cobain didnt want to be famous. He did want to be famous, not as famous as he got obviously, but he signed to a major label after shopping around at a bunch of other major labels that were interested in Nirvana after they released their first album on Sub Pop- a label that many grunge bands of the time got signed to.
Anyways, Kurt wanted to be famous just not to the extent that he became. He became an icon, people were obsessed with him, and he didnt feel safe so he bought guns.
He felt a lot of pressure from his wife, especially after he dropped their infant daughter on heroin once. She never let him forget about that, and they were both doing heroin before and after their daughter Frances was born.
He also felt a lot of pressure from his band mates and his record label to make more music and play more shows, and basically just to make more money. He felt like everyone wanted a piece of him, and they did, and thats hard for a somewhat shy person to take in.
He never fully learned how to adjust to rockstar life because it basically happened overnight after Smells Like Teen Spirit hit big. He had already struggled with heroin before it released, and was depressed most of his life beginning when his parents divorced when he was young.
He used the heroin to cure an intense undiagnosed stomach pain Kurt dealt with, it would get exceptionally painful on long tours.
I think his struggles with heroin and depression at a young age paired with his inability to cope with the stress of the pressure put on him by his wife, band, and record label, & also his inability to cope with his overnight rockstar status combined was what caused Kurt Cobain to kill himself.
I think Courtney Love has become a crazy ***** recently, but Ive always liked her music (Live Through This is one of my favorite albums of all time)and still respect old Courtney and dont think she killed him.
