There may be some fan-taken photographs of Kurt Cobain which were taken closer to the Nirvana star and grunge pioneer's death than this one, but this is the final image from his final professional photoshoot. The iconic shot was taken in November 1993. Cobain was found dead with a gunshot wound to his head in April 1994. Cobain is, like several others on this list, a member of the '27 Club'.
The official verdict on Cobain's death is that he took his own life, but fans and conspiracy theorists are less-than convinced. The neat positioning of his body on the floor with his hair combed out behind him, coupled with the strange phrasing of his alleged suicide note, leave plenty of facts open to question. Twenty-five years later though, no new evidence has emerged. Nirvana's 'Nevermind' remains an essential part of any alternative teen's record collection.
