Kurt Cobain, Nirvana Frontman, died 17 years ago yesterday, prompting the mandatory wave of Twitter tributes.

PurebloodNerd posted, "RIP Kurt Cobain :( I wish he could replace Justin Bieber's existence..."
Meanwhile, other people maintained candlelight vigils in Cobain's Washington hometown of Aberdeen and at Seattle's Viretta Park, where some of the singer's ashes are scattered.
Curse of 27
It is the belief that 27 is an unlucky number due to the number of musicians who have died at the age. Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, and Kurt Cobain are all part of the club.
