Inside Kurt Cobain's Tragic Suicide 30 Years After the Nirvana Legend's Death Nirvana. Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic In Utero marked the third album from the band — comprised of Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl — and unfortunately became the final album of original material they'd ever create together, as Cobain died by suicide at his Seattle home after a lengthy battle with drugs and depression at age 27 on April 5, 1994. In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, Grohl opened up about creating the album and why it'd become hard for him to listen to its songs. "The album should be listened to as it was the day it came out. That’s my problem with the record. I used to like to listen to it. And I don’t anymore, because of that," he told the outlet. The Foo Fighters frontman continued, "To me, if you listen to it without thinking of Kurt dying, you might get the original intention of the record. Like my kids. They know I was in Nirvana. They know Kurt was killed. I haven’t told them that he killed himself. They’re 4 and 7 years old. So when they listen to In Utero, they’ll have that fresh perspective – the original intention of the album, as a first-time listener." "Someday they will learn what happened. And it’ll change that. It did for me," added Grohl.
