Kurt Cobain honoured in hometown with 13-foot statue of guitar

A 13-foot statue of a guitar has been erected in honour of the 17th death anniversary of late Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain.

The statue will be unveiled in Cobain's hometown of Aberdeen, WAN, reports TMZ.

The guitarist's grandfather as well as former band members from Nirvana are expected to attend the ceremony.

Lora Malakoff, the statue's artist, said the guitar will rest near the infamous Young Street Bridge, which the musician often sought refuge under to write lyrics.
