that Cobain committed suicide. He had had entered a
coma by overdosing on a mixture of champagne and tranquilizers on March 4.
Also, Kurt's family history showed that two of his father's uncles
committed suicide, along with the fact that there were a lot of
dysfunctional marriages and alcoholism present. During a concert, Kurt
would jerk around as if he was being electrocuted. After his death, the
sale of Nirvana memorabilia increased dramatically.
As you can see, both Franz Liszt and Kurt Cobain have some
characteristics in common. They had both been hospitalized for an illness.
However, one was physical while the other was mental. Both had unusual
concert styles. Like many classical composers, Kurt was not truly
appreciated until his death, as shown by the fact that the sale of Nirvana
memorabilia increased.
