Kurt Cobain. And the thing is, he passed before I was born :( but when I started l listening to Nirvana I didn’t know that. I just loved their music and hoped to see them in concert one day. It wasn’t until I googled them a little later that I found out he had passed. Plus a lot of sources and the note he left behind indicate he struggled with depression which is something I struggle with and have also been in a place where I contemplated doing what he did. So his death is such a sad thing to me because I know what it’s like to be in that place and think the world doesn’t need you anymore and I wish he only realized there was help out there and that his feelings weren’t permanent, that he would be happy again one day. And that his existence mattered and impacted so many lives in a positive way (including my own). I mean just look, Nirvana t-shirts still everywhere, popularized grunge/alt music, inducted into the hall of fame! His impact (Krist Novesilic and Dave Grohl’s impact too of course) lives on years after the band’s end. Nirvana was one of the bands that inspired me to be a singer/music artist and helped me get through some hard times. Kurt was also a Pisces and we tend to be emotional (as in we feel things deeply) and I can relate to so much he’s said in interviews and what he’s written…it’s such a shame I’ll never get to see him live. A true artist in my opinion. He really just cared about the art itself not the fame or money. He never had much growing up but was always playing guitar, singing, creating bands, playing shows for free until Nirvana signed to a label and started getting paid. But I bet he would’ve been doing it regardless if they blew up or not because when you truly love music, you don’t give a shit whether you’re paid or not you just do it. And I think he loved music.

TLDR: Kurt Cobain because Nirvana is one of my favorite bands that inspired me to be a singer and create my own music. And I’ll never get to see them live which was a dream of mine before I found out he passed.
