Kurt Cobain Honoured In Hometown On Death Anniversary
Fans of tragic Nirvana star Kurt Cobain gathered at one of the rocker's famous sanctuary spots on Tuesday (05Apr11) for the unveiling of a guitar memorial to mark the 17th anniversary of his death.
Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994, was honoured with a 13-foot (3.9 meter) statue of a guitar, created by artist Lora Malakoff, in an Aberdeen, Washington park.
Malakoff tells Tmz.com the site of the statue is important - the guitar will rest near the infamous Young Street Bridge, which the musician often sought refuge under to write lyrics.
