On April 8, 1994, he was found dead at his Lake Washington home apparently of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound. During the last years of his life Cobain struggled with heroin addiction, illness, depression brought on from his fame and public image, as well as the professional and lifelong personal pressures surrounding himself and his wife, musician Courtney Love. Following the success of their first album “Nevermind”, Nirvana started the grunge band wave and was labeled “the flagship band” of Generation X.
