Albums like Bleach, Nevermind and In Utero lifted Nirvana from the Seattle music scene to international adoration.
The group disbanded following the death of Cobain, who had struggled with drug abuse and the pressures of fame.
AP reported that dozens of people have left flowers, candles and written messages at a Seattle park at the site of Cobain’s death.
Fans travelled to Viretta Park in the city, leaving memorials on benches. Flowers were left alongside with handwritten notes including “thank you for your art” and “find your place”.
