Speaking just before his death, Cobain said he had never felt more spiritual than when spending time in Ireland
Few would think there would be any connection between one of the world’s biggest rockstars and the Co Tyrone parish of Termonmaguirc.
After a talent for music and art was quickly discovered by Kurt and his family, he went on to tour the world with the band, most famous for its album Nevermind and song Smells Like Teen Spirit. Chairperson of the Patrician Hall, Eilish Gormley, said those in the village were very proud of the link. “I never really knew about my ancestors until this year, when I learned the name Cobain was Irish,” Cobain said in 1993.
