In a since-deleted Instagram post shared on the 29th anniversary of Cobain’s death in 2023, the “Celebrity Skin” songstress wrote a tribute to her departed husband, whom she dotingly called “my twin flame.”
“I love beautiful hands, it’s the first thing I look at in another. I love that the only photograph of Kurt that [Stipe] took… Micheal saw these hands,” Love captioned a black-and-white photo of Cobain’s hands clasped together. “It is one of the only images (or sounds/ tastes etc) that makes me miss him deeply. … Dear Kurt D. C. we love & miss you.”
On her decision to follow in her father’s creative footsteps, Frances — who haspursued modeling and visual art, as well as music —toldE! Newsof her dad in 2018: “I would hope that he would be proudof the human being I am even if he didn’t like the art I am putting out. That’s all I would ask of anyone in my life.”
To commemorate his legacy, let’s revisit some of Kurt’s biggest moments captured on camera.
