April 5, 1994.

The Nirvana frontman died by suicide in his Seattle home after struggling with drug addiction and depression for years.

The rock icon had checked himself out of a Los Angeles rehab just a week earlier.

After the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" rocketed Nirvana to worldwide fame, Cobain had been referred to as "the spokesman of a generation.".
