Friday marks 25 years since the death of legendary and beloved Nirvana guitarist and frontman Kurt Cobain.
Given how much he cared about his wife's reputation, and the other stresses he was under, it wouldn't have been a shock if Kurt did indeed cancel Nirvana's performance.
"We rehearsed once, the night before, and it wasn't good. It turned out to be a wonderful show, and it healed us for a little while." He then flopped over on to the stage as if he had passed out and Krist, playing the straight man, told the crowd in a voice of mock concern:"With the help of his friends and family he's gonna make it."
Brookes says:"I remember looking out at the audience, almost all of whom where there to see Nirvana, and it was almost biblical. Nirvana meant more to them than just a band.
