Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged in New York: 30 Years Later

April 8, 1994. Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain’s death reverberates a ripple of shock around the world. For a man so reserved, Cobain carried himself with what seemed an unshakable sense of himself; he was everything people wanted to see in a musician and, at the same time, nothing like anyone had ever seen. At the time of his death, he frontmanned the most famous band in the world, but fame seemed antithetical to who he was. Kurt Cobain was famous because he was an outcast, and the world revered him because it saw itself in his music.
