Kurt Cobain

Lead singer and songwriter of Nirvana, committed suicide with a shotgun blast to the head, prompting an unprecedented 24 hour MTV Cobain-athon. Married singer Courtney Love. Had a fondness for old time actress Frances Farmer, but their daughter Frances Bean is actually named after Frances McKee of the Vaselines.

Author Charles Cross:

"Kurt was fascinated by LaVey and wanted to get him to play on something. He said that several times when he visited San Francisco and went by the Melvins' house, which was just down the street from LaVey's. He had heard that he played cello. Kurt did want him to play on some future recording; he said this before they went into the studio for Nevermind."
